Schloss Franzhagen stands in Schulendorf (Kreis Herzogtum Lauenburg), in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Franzhagen once stood near what is now the village of Schulendorf, in southern Schleswig-Holstein, before being demolished in 1716. Built on the site of an older, possibly medieval structure, it was expanded from 1608 by Duke Franz II of Saxe-Lauenburg into a large residence with extensive gardens. Nothing of the building survives today; only a street called Hofgraben marks the boundary of the former estate.
