The state-owned Jezeří Castle (German: Schloss Eisenberg) lies within the municipal area of Horní Jiřetín (Obergeorgenthal) in the Ústí nad Labem Region on the southern, steeply falling flank of the Ore Mountains in the Czech Republic. It is protected by the state as a cultural monument. In the summer half-year guided tours are offered to visitors.
Directly below the castle, in the North Bohemian Basin, lies the active large lignite opencast mine Důl ČSA. The village of the same name, Jezeří (Eisenberg), was destroyed as a result of the expansion of the opencast mine in the 1980s.
