Schloss Hopfau stands in Kemnath (Landkreis Tirschenreuth), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Hopfau stands on the banks of the Fichtelnaab, a short distance from Grötschenreuth in the municipality of Kemnath. Originally an iron forge settlement first recorded in 1387, the building seen today, the former forge master's house, dates from 1605 with alterations made in 1733. Its most notable features are a polygonal stair tower on the south side and a lower wing added in 1665, the whole structure built of rendered rubble stone under a saddle roof. It remains a quiet reminder of the ironworking past of this stretch of the Oberpfalz.
