Schloss Jesberg stands in Jesberg (Schwalm-Eder-Kreis), in Hesse, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Jesberg, also known as the Maximilianschloss, stands at Jesberg, below the hill once crowned by the old Burg. Built in 1723 as a summer residence for a prince of the House of Hesse-Kassel, it shows a plain facade under a mansard roof, with a projecting garden front and a balcony. Over the centuries the building served many purposes before being thoroughly restored in 2006 and converted into senior housing, a community space and a library.
