Schloss Matzenbach stands in Fichtenau (Landkreis Schwäbisch Hall), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Matzenbach refers to a former manorial seat, now vanished, located in Fichtenau, in the Landkreis Schwäbisch Hall, Baden-Württemberg. The large rectangular building erected in the 17th century on the site of an earlier residence from 1524 was almost entirely destroyed by fire in 1873, leaving only a corner tower standing. That surviving tower, now known as the bell tower because two bells were installed there in the 19th century, still stands on what is still called the castle courtyard, at the heart of the village.
