Schloss Eltershofen stands in Schwäbisch Hall (Landkreis Schwäbisch Hall), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Eltershofen stands in the Eltershofen district of Schwäbisch Hall, in Baden-Württemberg. Built as a moated castle on a terrace ringed by a ditch, it shows a square courtyard lined with parapet walls and corner turrets with battlements, along with a main building topped by a mansard roof and four small corner towers. A fortified seat here is first recorded in 1298, but the structure seen today dates mainly from a rebuilding carried out in the 17th century by patrician families of Schwäbisch Hall. Privately owned since 1896 by the counts of Westerholt, the castle is not open to the public inside.
