Schloss Schönberg stands in Bensheim (Landkreis Bergstraße), in Hesse, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 13th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Schönberg overlooks the village of Bensheim-Schönberg, on the Hessian Bergstraße, and dates back to the 13th century. For generations it served as a residence of the Princes of Erbach-Schönberg, who established a long winemaking tradition in the area. The building today remains linked to a vineyard estate cultivated on its surrounding land, part of one of Germany's smallest wine regions. Visitors come less for a museum experience than to see a historic landmark set within a landscape of vine-covered slopes.
