Schloss Hohenschönhausen stands in Berlin (Berlin), in Berlin, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Hohenschönhausen Castle is a former manor house in the Alt-Hohenschönhausen district of Berlin, whose site dates back to a noble estate of the late 15th century. The present building passed through many hands over the centuries, merchants, Prussian reformers and industrialists among them, before serving as a hospital until 1989. Since 2021 it has undergone a comprehensive restoration led by a housing cooperative working alongside the association that had long cared for the property. It is therefore best understood as a heritage building under active renovation, occasionally hosting cultural events rather than functioning as a regular tourist site.
