Schloss Ketschendorf stands in Coburg (Coburg), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 19th century. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Ketschendorf stands at the foot of the Buchberg, in a district of Coburg, set within an extensive landscaped park. The present building, completed in 1869 in Gothic Revival style, replaced an earlier Empire-style Schloss built in the early 19th century for Duchess Augusta of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. Its nearly square layout, flanked by four octagonal crenellated corner towers and decorated with tracery gables, makes it a striking example of historicist architecture in the Coburg region. Its history brings together widowed duchesses, royal guests, and the unusual path of a Parisian opera singer who became baroness of the estate.
