Gutshaus Groß Schacksdorf is a heritage-listed château located in the municipality of Groß Schacksdorf-Simmersdorf, within the Landkreis Spree-Neiße district in Brandenburg, Germany. The site comprises a main house (Herrenhaus), an Inspektorenhaus with associated buildings, and a garden. Originally, the location featured a defensive fortification from the 13th or 14th century, surrounded by moats. In 1735, the property was divided into three feudal estates, later reunited by Rahel Dorothea von Jasmund. By the mid-18th century, it was owned by Karl Johann Erdmann von Thielau. The Herrenhaus, a two-story brick building with a pitched roof, dates back to the first half of the 18th century and was extended around 1801–1830. The Inspektorenhaus, built around 1840, features a hipped roof and is located adjacent to the main house. The complex is recognized as an architectural heritage monument in Brandenburg, protected under denkmalgeschützt status. The garden, initially baroque, was later redesigned in the English landscape garden style. Today, the château hosts cultural events such as concerts, exhibitions, and weddings, and has been used as a film location. It is situated west of the village center at Am Zentrum 3 in Groß Schacksdorf.
