Schloss Zusmarshausen stands in Zusmarshausen (Landkreis Augsburg), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Zusmarshausen has overlooked the Zusam valley since the early sixteenth century. Built in 1505 for Prince-Bishop Heinrich von Lichtenau of Augsburg, it served as an administrative and judicial seat for the Augsburg prince-bishopric. After secularization transferred it to Bavarian authority in 1803, it eventually became, and remains, the headquarters of a Bavarian state forestry operation, a working building rather than a museum.
