Schloss Warmsdorf stands in Güsten (Salzlandkreis), in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Warmsdorf, in Güsten, in the Salzlandkreis, brings together on the site of a former medieval Burg several buildings from different periods, from a sixteenth century Gothic remnant to an early nineteenth century manor house. The north wing, known as the Georgsbau, built in 1552 by Prince Georg III of Anhalt-Plötzkau on the foundations of an older stronghold, stands today as a roofless ruin. Nearby, the small Georgskapelle, rebuilt in the late 1990s, houses an exhibition devoted to this reforming prince. The grounds still show traces of moats, ramparts and farm buildings from its time as an estate.
