Schloss Fechenbach stands in Dieburg (Landkreis Darmstadt-Dieburg), in Hesse, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Fechenbach in Dieburg is a small town palace that originated as the seat of the Ulner von Dieburg family, members of the local nobility in service to the lords. Rebuilt in 1717 by Pleikard von Ulner as a three-winged late Baroque building, it later passed to the von Dalberg and then the von Fechenbach families, who had it remodeled in a classicist style between 1860 and 1861. Above the entrance staircase, a broken triangular gable still displays the combined coat of arms of the Ulner and von Haxthausen families. The building today houses the town and district museum.
