Stein’sches Schloss stands in Nassau (Rhein-Lahn-Kreis), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Standing in the centre of Nassau, in the Rhein-Lahn-Kreis in Rhineland-Palatinate, the Stein's chateau occupies the site of a medieval tithe court that the Imperial knightly family vom Stein converted into a residence at the start of the seventeenth century. It was here that Heinrich Friedrich Karl vom und zum Stein, the future Prussian reform minister, spent his childhood. The main building, completed in 1621 in the late Renaissance style, was extended with two baroque wings in 1755, and later with an octagonal neo-Gothic tower erected in 1815-1816 to commemorate the Wars of Liberation. The chateau remains in the hands of the vom Stein family's descendants, now the counts von Kanitz.
