Schloss Dippoldiswalde, Heritage castle in Dippoldiswalde, Germany.

Schloss Dippoldiswalde stands on a hill spur above the Weißeritztal at the western edge of Dippoldiswalde's old town, with the town church immediately to its east. The castle began as a 12th-century hill fort and was rebuilt as a Renaissance palace between 1500 and 1550 by Nuremberg architect Peter Flötner. Its southern wing, with a central section and a two-storey bay window on the west side, was added in 1569–1572.

A hilltop castle was built in the 12th century to protect mining and serve as an administrative seat in the Margraviate of Meissen. In 1266 a knight von Clomen is named as owner. The Hussites destroyed the town in 1429, and in 1485 the castle and town fortifications were repaired. Between 1500 and 1550 Peter Flötner of Nuremberg rebuilt it as a Renaissance palace; the south wing with the central block and two-storey west bay followed in 1569–1572. The Thirty Years' War also damaged the castle.

The castle now houses the Dippoldiswalde District Court, the Osterzgebirgsgalerie museum and, since August 2018, the Museum of Medieval Mining in the Erzgebirge. The mining museum recalls the town's status as a Bergstadt, recorded in 1266 when a knight von Clomen held the castle.

The castle is open year-round and easily reached in the old town of Dippoldiswalde. Wear comfortable shoes, as the grounds have uneven paths and stairs lead into the interior spaces.

The castle has housed the Museum of Medieval Mining in the Erzgebirge since August 2018, alongside the Osterzgebirgsgalerie and the Dippoldiswalde District Court. Its grounds also once included the outlying estates Malter, Böthchen, Wolframsdorf, Schwarzdorf, Ziegenrück, Nikolai and Heselicht.
