Schloss Wachwitz, Château in Wachwitz district, Dresden, Germany.

Schloss Wachwitz is a three-wing castle set on a hillside estate with gardens and terraces along the Elbe slopes east of Dresden. The building is now divided into residential units and still retains many of its original architectural details throughout.

In 1824 Crown Prince Friedrich August, living at Niederpoyritz, bought three vineyards in Wachwitz and built a palais, the Old Villa, as his summer residence. That palais was replaced in 1892 by a Neo-Renaissance house designed by Wilhelm Teichgräber, the Royal Villa, used as a summer residence after his accession in 1904. The present Schloss was built above it in 1936–37 by architect Max Hans Kühne for Friedrich Christian of the Wettin family, who were expropriated in 1945.

The chapel on the south side held a neo-baroque altar by Otto Heybey, a ceiling painting of St Elisabeth of Thuringia by Heinrich Bickel and a small organ by the Jehmlich brothers. The Wettin family crypt lies beneath it. The house name Wachwitz comes from the village on the Elbe slope where the estate was laid out.

The 27-hectare estate lies on the Elbe slope by the Wachwitz Höhenpark, with the castle above the Royal Villa. Since the 2007 sale, the Rhododendron Garden and the main walking paths have remained open to the public by contract. The garden covers 10,000 m² and is reached on footpaths; the slope is uneven in places.

The south side held a small neo-baroque chapel with a family crypt beneath it, fitted with a high altar by Otto Heybey (1899–1961), a ceiling painting of St Elisabeth of Thuringia by Heinrich Bickel and a small organ from the Jehmlich brothers. The castle itself had about 40 rooms, with the Red Salon and library on the ground floor.
