The Jesuit Castle is a stately home in Merzhausen near Freiburg im Breisgau, located on the north side of the Schönberg. From there you have a broad view of Freiburg, the Kaiserstuhl and the southern Black Forest, which is located immediately to the north.

The Jesuits, who taught at Freiburg University from 1620, received the estate from the Schnewlin-Bernlapp von Bollschweil family as a gift on February 10, 1635. According to the plaque from 1901 above the entrance, the mansion was built in 1666, although there are justified doubts about this date. When the order was dissolved in 1773, the Schnewlin-Bernlapp, the barons of Bollschweil, bought their original castle back for 66,000 florins. The property then went to the Kageneck family. Mostly the property was used as a noble residence and underwent many structural changes. In 1898 the Freiburg Heiliggeistspitalstiftung acquired the complex and leased it.

The winery of the Heiliggeistspitalstiftung, the Freiburg foundation winery, first mentioned in 1298, has been established in the property since 1985. Next to the winery is a tasting room and a large hall. There is also a restaurant on the castle grounds with a view of Freiburg.
