Schloss Eggmühl stands in Schierling, in the Landkreis Regensburg, Bavaria, on the site of a medieval lowland castle first built in the 12th century. The present building, arranged around a rectangular courtyard with four irregular wings, dates mainly from the 15th century, with later additions such as a 17th-century granary with a half-hipped roof.
