Schloßhotel Götzenburg is a historic castle hotel in Jagsthausen, Baden-Württemberg, housed within the famous Götzenburg, also known as Burg Jagsthausen.

The castle originated in the 13th century and later became one of the ancestral seats of the noble von Berlichingen family, which is closely associated with the legendary knight Götz von Berlichingen. Over the centuries, the castle was expanded and renovated several times, while retaining much of its medieval character.

Today, visitors can still see historic features such as towers, a moat, a knight’s hall, and a museum displaying artifacts related to Götz von Berlichingen, including his famous iron hand prostheses. Now operating as a hotel, event venue, and cultural attraction, Schloßhotel Götzenburg combines historic architecture with modern hospitality. It is also known as the setting for the annual Burgfestspiele Jagsthausen, a popular open-air theatre festival held in the castle grounds.
