The Chateau Schönburg (formerly called Montcherie) is an early classicist castle in the small town of Hofgeismar in the district of Kassel, in Hesse, Germany.
The castle of Schönburg stands in the park Gesundbrunnen, which stretches on the northeast edge of the centre of Hofgeismar. It is located at about 150 m above NHN on an artificially piled hill. About 50 m south of the castle lies the Swan Pond. Not far to the east, around the eastern border of the park is the Lempe river, which flows a few hundred meters further west into the south-coming Esse river.
The castle was built from 1787 to 1790 according to plans by Simon Louis du Ry for the Landgrave Wilhelm IX.
