Schloss Tegel stands in Reinickendorf (Berlin), in Berlin, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 19th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Tegel, also known as Humboldt-Schloss, stands in the Reinickendorf district of Berlin, its grounds reaching almost to Lake Tegel. Between 1820 and 1824, Wilhelm von Humboldt had a former Renaissance manor rebuilt into a classical residence by the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. The house remains in the hands of his descendants, the von Heinz family, who still live there. A private Humboldt museum occupies part of the building, and the park holds the family burial site designed by Schinkel.
