Schochwitz Castle, Cultural heritage château in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

Schochwitz is a castle in Saxony-Anhalt with four corner towers, a stone bridge entry, and Renaissance structures containing more than 1500 square meters of restored living space. The site combines historical building forms with modern interior systems.

A castle existed here by about 1133, when Odalricus de Scochwize is named as owner; it later passed to Friedrich von Merseburg. The von der Schulenburg family inherited it in 1565, and between 1601 and 1606 Lewin von der Schulenburg built the Renaissance castle, incorporating the older fortress. In 1783 Gebhard von Alvensleben bought it, and it stayed with his family until Ludolf-Hermann von Alvensleben was expropriated in 1945.

The castle's name comes from Odalricus de Scochwize, mentioned around 1133 as owner of an earlier castle on the site. In the courtyard, the round oriel bears the coats of arms of Levin von der Schulenburg and his wife Fredeke von Alvensleben. A 1604 public disputation between Lutheran Albertus Grauerus and Reformed superintendent Wolfgang Amling was held here.

The castle stands 17 km from Halle (Saale) in the Salzatal municipality. After 1990 it was extensively restored and remains in private ownership; it was offered for sale in 2017 and again more recently. Visitors should note that it is not a public monument but a privately owned building occasionally rented for weddings and events.

In 1604 Levin von der Schulenburg, a committed Protestant, allowed a public disputation at the castle between the Lutheran Albertus Grauerus, rector in Eisleben, and the Reformed superintendent Wolfgang Amling of Zerbst. The round oriel carries the coats of arms of Levin von der Schulenburg and his wife Fredeke von Alvensleben of Kalbe.
