Bizeljsko Castle (Template:Lang-sl, German: Schloss Wisell) is a castle in Bizeljska Vas, a village in the Municipality of Brežice, southeastern Slovenia. It consists of a residential part that forms the centre of the complex and includes a Baroque chapel, and an outer part that served a defensive purpose.[1]

The castle was mentioned for the first time in written sources in 1404. It has belonged to the families Tattenbach and Windisch-Graetz, among others. The oldest parts of the now visible structure dates from the 14th century, and the castle has been rebuilt and extended gradually over the centuries.
