Schloss Ribbeck, also known as Herrenhaus Ribbeck, is a neobaroque château located in Ribbeck, a district of Nauen in the Havelland region of Brandenburg, Germany. Constructed in 1893 by Hans Georg Hennig von Ribbeck, it replaced an earlier structure from around 1800. The château served as the residence of the von Ribbeck family and is now a historical site hosting various cultural events and activities. During World War II, it was used by a Luftwaffe unit, and post-war, the property was seized during land reforms. It later served as a nursing home from 1956 to 2004. Following extensive renovations completed in 2009, Schloss Ribbeck was restored to its original architectural form and now functions as a tourist attraction. It features the interactive Fontane-Museum, which highlights the region's literary history, and offers a venue for weddings, conferences, and family gatherings. The château is surrounded by a historic garden and is situated along the Havelland-Radweg, making it accessible for visitors.
