The castle Büschfeld even lock Büschfeld called, is an Outbound castle in the district Büschfeld (Eisenbahnstraße) the city of Wadern in Merzig-Wadern in Saarland .

The first mention of the castle took place in 1322 by the Archbishop Baldwin of Luxembourg , the investiture took place the "Castrum buses box" to the vassal John of Chambley and his wife Beatrix.
