The Haunted Castle (German: Schloß Vogelöd) is a 1936 German mystery film directed by Max Obal and starring Walter Steinbeck, Carola Höhn and Hans Stüwe. It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios in Potsdam and on location around Berlin, Munich and Hinterbrühl in the Isar Valley. The film's sets were designed by the art director Hermann Asmus and Hans Kuhnert. The film is based on the novel of the same title by Rudolf Stratz, which had previously been adapted into 1921 silent film The Haunted Castle.
