Schloss Weilburg stands in Weilburg (Landkreis Limburg-Weilburg), in Hesse, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 18th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Weilburg stands above the town of Weilburg on a spur almost entirely encircled by the river Lahn, covering close to half of the old town's surface. Its core, the Hochschloss, dates from the 16th-century Renaissance, while the surrounding wings, the palace church and the terraced gardens were added during the early 18th-century Baroque expansion commissioned by Count John Ernst of Nassau-Weilburg. The complex is open today as a museum palace with guided tours, and parts of it host a summer concert festival.
