Schloss Kreuth stands in Heideck (Landkreis Roth), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Kreuth stands on a hill northwest of Heideck in Franconian Bavaria. Founded in the late 16th century by a Nuremberg patrician, it underwent several building phases, with most of what is seen today dating from the second half of the 18th century and from an 1881 extension carried out under the House of Oettingen. The complex consists of a main building with a mansard roof linked to a two-sided wing with a round tower, grouped around a courtyard closed off by an 18th-century gate tower.
