The Holzhausenschlösschen (Little palace of Holzhausen) is a Baroque moated castle, built by the Frankfurt patrician family Holzhausen on a farm belonging to it, then just north of Frankfurt. Today, due to the growth of the city in the 19th century, it is in Frankfurt's Nordend, surrounded on three sides by the park Holzhausenpark.
The present building was erected in 1729 by Johann Hieronymus von Holzhausen on the foundations of a moated castle from the Middle Ages. It was designed by de [Louis Remy de la Fosse].
From 1953 to 1988, the castle was home to the Frankfurt Museum for Pre-and Early History. Since 1989, it is the seat of the the community foundation {[lang|de|Holzhausenschlösschen}} which in 1995 rebuilt the inside fundamentally and uses it for various cultural events.
