Schloss Eicks stands in Mechernich (Kreis Euskirchen), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Eicks is a moated, late Baroque manor house in the hamlet of Eicks, part of Mechernich in the Kreis Euskirchen. Built at the end of the 17th century by the von Syberg family on the remains of a medieval stronghold, it retains a two-part layout: a three-winged outer courtyard set with towers, and a separate main house with a slightly irregular plan and four corner turrets. Several carved coats of arms recall the marriages of successive lords of the estate, and a formal garden with box-lined paths can be seen from outside across the moat.
