Echzeller Burg, Cultural heritage monument in Echzell, Germany.

Echzeller Burg is a two-story baroque schloss with nine window axes, a mansard hipped roof and five dormers. A double sandstone staircase with a balcony above leads to the entrance, and two lower side wings added around 1864 form a cour d'honneur. The dry moat and remains of the old castle wall survive.

Around 800, Charlemagne gave the settlement Acheaz villa to Fulda Abbey, laying the basis of the Fuldischen Mark. A water castle probably built in the 11th century passed through the counts of Ziegenhain, Hesse and Nassau. In 1710 General Johann Rudolf Victor von Pretlack bought it and had the medieval castle rebuilt as a two-storey baroque palace by 1713, with side wings added in 1864.

The castle now houses Institut Lucius, a boarding school, while retaining sections of its original walls and dry moat from medieval times. Visitors can still observe these older fortifications within the grounds.

The site can be reached from Hauptstraße 111 and sits near the River Horloff, making it easy to locate. The open grounds allow for walking around the buildings, though not all sections are open to the public.

The Kavaliershaus is a three-storey building with two timber-framed upper floors and a hint of a risalit, standing left of the approach to the castle. Its carved roof supports at every corner are the detail to look for. The opposite Gärtnerhaus was built in the same expansion phase around 1864.
