Schloss Heiligenberg stands in Seeheim-Jugenheim (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 Heiligenberg overlooks the Rhine valley from the wooded heights above Jugenheim, east of Seeheim-Jugenheim. Built in the early nineteenth century as a farming estate before becoming the summer residence of Grand Duchess Wilhelmine of Hesse, it was extended by the architect Georg Moller for the Battenberg family, ancestors of the British Mountbattens. Until 1914 the estate remained a gathering place for European royalty and diplomats, including visits from the Russian tsars. Now owned by the state of Hesse, the Schloss houses a restaurant, a wedding hall and hosts exhibitions and concerts.
