Schloss Ermschwerd stands in Witzenhausen (Werra-Meißner-Kreis), in Hesse, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Ermschwerd stands in the Ermschwerd district of Witzenhausen, on the former manorial estate of the von Buttlar family. The imposing three storey building combines a solid ground floor of variegated sandstone with two half timbered upper floors, a style typical of northern Hesse and the southern Weser region. A double staircase leads to a Renaissance portal dated 1616, flanked by the coats of arms of the von Buttlar and von Boyneburg families. At the rear, a polygonal stair tower from 1586 and a wing built the same year complete the ensemble, set within a small wooded park.
