Schloss Esteburg stands in Jork (Landkreis Stade), in Lower Saxony, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Esteburg is a former manor house built in the early 17th century in Jork, in the Landkreis Stade, in Lower Saxony. Standing on a moated island close to the Este river, the brick structure combines a main residential block with a former farm wing. Its facade displays decorative features typical of the Weser Renaissance, including carved depictions of cannons that give the building an appearance of defensiveness it never fully possessed.
