Schloss Fürstenstein (Berchtesgaden) stands in Berchtesgaden (Landkreis Berchtesgadener Land), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Fürstenstein stands halfway up the Kälberstein, close to the centre of Berchtesgaden. Prince-provost Michael Balthasar von Christalnigg had it built in 1758 as a retirement residence, before bequeathing it to his chapter in 1768. The estate includes the main building, a Rococo chapel decorated with frescoes by the Salzburg painter Benedikt Zöpf, and a neighbouring farmhouse dating from the late 18th century. Having passed through several hands, from clergy to Bavarian teachers' associations, the property has belonged to a private business group since 2017.
