Schloss Willershausen, Medieval castle in Herleshausen, Germany.

The castle complex features a rounded shell corner tower, Gothic substructures, and a half-timbered residential house at Bergring 6 in Willershausen.

The castle, first mentioned in 1539, belonged to Treusch von Buttlar until 1757 when ownership transferred to the Landgraves of Hesse-Philippsthal.

The residential upper floor from the late 17th century includes a hall with partially preserved stucco decorations representing regional architectural styles.

The castle remains are accessible from the southern part of the village, near the fortified church built around 1300.

The residential and defense tower, dating from 1280, maintains its original water moats surrounding the estate building.
