Schloss Hammel stands in Neusäß (Landkreis Augsburg), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Hammel stands in the Hammel district of Neusäß, in Bavaria, and has belonged to the von Stetten family for generations. Built in the mid-16th century for Wolfgang von Paler, it was likely destroyed by Swedish troops in 1648 and later rebuilt by its new owner, Raimund Egger. A major renovation in 1891, led by Augsburg architect Jean Keller, gave the building its present appearance, adding neo-Gothic battlements to the south gable and a neo-baroque great hall on the upper floor of the east wing. Visitors approaching along the old maple avenue reach the square gatehouse, while the southeastern tower, known as the Malakoff Tower, recalls the Crimean War battle of that name.
