Schloss Kaltenberg stands in Geltendorf (Landkreis Landsberg am Lech), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Kaltenberg stands in Geltendorf, Bavaria, on a site first built in 1292, though its present appearance owes much to a neo-Gothic remodeling carried out in the 19th century. Home to the Bavarian princely family, it still shows the moats of its medieval fortifications and a neo-Gothic keep decorated with frescoes inspired by the Codex Manesse. Still inhabited today, the castle combines restaurants, a brewery and large gatherings, including the knights' tournament that made it widely known beyond the region.
