Schloss Zedtlitz stands in Borna (Landkreis Leipzig), in Saxony, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Zedtlitz stands in the Wyhra valley near Borna, in Saxony, on the site of a medieval stronghold first recorded in 1190. The present baroque building dates from 1706, when Christiane Elisabeth von Gladebeck had the ruins, burned down during the Thirty Years' War, rebuilt in the fashionable style of the time. Its central portal, crowned by a relief bearing the coats of arms of the von Gladebeck and von Münchhausen families and fronted by an outdoor staircase, remains its most distinctive feature. Ownership passed through several noble families over the centuries before the estate came into the hands of the local municipality and later private investors.
