Schloss Wocklum stands in Balve (Märkischer Kreis), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Wocklum is a moated castle set in the valley of the Orlebach stream, in Balve, in the Sauerland region. Its history goes back to a medieval fief held by the von Düngelen family, later passing through the hands of the von Wockelheim and then the von Hatzfeld lineages. Since its purchase in 1656 by Daniel Dietrich von Landsberg zu Erwitte, it has remained in the hands of the counts of Landsberg-Velen, secured by a family trust established in 1681. The estate is still tied to equestrian tradition, hosting the Balve Optimum tournament every year since 1948.
