Schloss Schlenderhan stands in Bergheim (Rhein-Erft-Kreis), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Schlenderhan stands in Quadrath-Ichendorf, a district of Bergheim, surrounded by moats that separate it from the village. Built in late Baroque style, it follows a double horseshoe layout, with an older central block from the 18th century flanked by two later wings enclosing a courtyard. The estate is chiefly known for hosting the Gestüt Schlenderhan, the oldest and most prominent private racing stud in Germany, founded by the von Oppenheim family. The landscaped park behind the castle, with its classical stallion house, extends the visit beyond the main building.
