Schloss Waffenbrunn stands in Waffenbrunn, Bavaria, on a site held since the late thirteenth century by a family of knights who took their name from the place. The building seen today results from repeated reconstructions after several periods of destruction, the last major rebuilding carried out in the eighteenth century under the von Paur family. It still shows an early residential tower, a central main wing, and a manorial chapel topped with an onion dome. The estate has belonged to the von Schacky auf Schönfeld family since the twentieth century.
