Schloss Neukirchen, now commonly known as Wasserschloss Klaffenbach, stands on an island within a pond in the Klaffenbach district of Chemnitz, Saxony.

Visitors can still see the gatehouse, part of the original residence, as well as the three-storey main building erected in the middle of the pond in the early seventeenth century.
