Schloss Hamm Frontal View
''Schloss'' (; pl. ''Schlösser''), formerly written ''Schloß'', is the German term for a building similar to a château, palace, or manor house. Related terms appear in several Germanic languages. In the Scandinavian languages, the cognate word ''slot''/''slott'' is normally used for what in English could be either a palace or a castle (instead of words in rarer use such as ''palats''/''palæ'', ''kastell'', or ''borg'').

But in English, the term does not appear, for instance, in the United Kingdom, this type of structure would be known as a stately home or country house.

The usual German term for a true castle is ''burg'', that for a fortress is ''festung'', and — the slightly more archaic term — ...
