Schloss Bietigheim, Renaissance castle in Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany.

Schloss Bietigheim is a Renaissance castle built with stone and featuring tall windows along with Gothic and classical architectural forms. The structure brings together features from different periods, as it was remodeled and expanded multiple times over the centuries.

The complex was founded in 1386 at the initiative of Antonia Visconti, wife of Count Eberhard III of Württemberg, and comprised the Amtshof, the castle, a granary, cellars and a wine press. Space in the Amtshof being short, the Neues Schloss or Württembergisches Amtsschloss was built in 1506 as the bailiff's seat and enlarged to its present size in 1542. A fire in 1707 badly damaged several buildings; only the Amtshaus survived, and since the old castle had stood empty since 1667 the duke did not rebuild it.

The complex takes its name from Bietigheim, where it stands near the market square. Since the 2000-2002 renovation the former Amtshaus and adjoining buildings have housed the municipal music school, the Kunstschule Labyrinth, the adult education centre (Volkshochschule) and the city's culture and sports office, alongside a brewery and two shops.

The complex sits at the southwestern edge of Bietigheim's old town, close to the market square, and is used today by the music school, the Kunstschule Labyrinth, the adult education centre, a brewery and two shops. The buildings were renovated between 2000 and 2002; the Amtshaus housed the tax office until 1999. Visitors should check with the individual institutions for their own opening times.

The Old Castle stood empty from 1667 and was never rebuilt after the 1707 fire, which spared only the Amtshaus; the duke of Württemberg let it go. The surviving Amtshaus then held the town's tax office from the 19th century until 1999, before the 2000–2002 renovation brought in the music school, the Kunstschule Labyrinth, the adult education centre, a brewery and two shops.
