Schloss Klöden stands in Jessen (Landkreis Wittenberg), in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Klöden stands on the right bank of the Elbe, on the site of a former Slavic stronghold and one of the oldest Burgward fortifications in Germany. Although the present building is a Renaissance and Baroque structure, it is still commonly known locally as Burg Klöden. Visitors find a main south wing dating from the 16th century, an east wing built around 1600, round-arched sandstone portals, and coffered wooden ceilings preserved even in the attic. Taken over by a preservation association after decades of varied uses, including residential and administrative purposes, it now houses a museum.
