Schloss Hitzacker stands in Hitzacker (Landkreis Lüchow-Dannenberg), in Lower Saxony, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Hitzacker once stood at the southeastern edge of the old town of Hitzacker, on the site of a medieval town fortress belonging to the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg. The location saw several successive buildings, from the lost medieval stronghold to an early 17th-century residence that has likewise vanished. Nothing of these structures remains visible today, their appearance known only through an old engraving of the last building that stood there.
