Knesebeck Castle was a medieval lowland castle, the remains of which are now located on the outskirts of the Wittingen district of Knesebeck in the district of Gifhorn in Lower Saxony.
The castle complex, first mentioned in a document in 1296 as Castro Knesbeke, was the ancestral home of the black tribe of the noble family von dem Knesebeck. As a noble residence, it held regional importance until around 1400 and later became the seat of a ducal office. Their defense value is estimated to be rather low. Essential remains of the castle are a remnant of the wall and the former administrative building, which has long served as a forestry office and since an extensive renovation in 2009 as a conference venue.
