Schloss Gurtweil stands in Waldshut-Tiengen (Landkreis Waldshut), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Gurtweil stands in the Schlücht valley, in the heart of the village of Gurtweil, a district of Waldshut-Tiengen. Rebuilt in 1662 after a fire destroyed the earlier moated manor on the site, this plain three-storey block with stepped gables served as a residence for the abbots and monks of the Saint Blasien monastery. Its Marian chapel, consecrated in 1664, combines Renaissance and Baroque features and still holds a high altar attributed to Johann Christoph Feinlein. The building today houses a residential care facility and is not set up as a public visitor attraction.
