Vietgest Castle is a manor house in Vietgest in the district of Rostock. Built in the Baroque style, the building was constructed from 1792 to 1794 according to designs by Johann Friedrich Busch for Johann Friedrich Boldt.

The Vietgest estate had been owned by the Oldenburg family since the 15th century. Johann Friedrich Boldt became the owner of the Vietgest estate and other surrounding estates in 1786. Shortly thereafter, he had his manor house built of bricks.

In 1819, Boldt's heirs sold the estate and house for 246,000 Reichstalers to Cornelius Freiherr von Herzeele († 1830). Two-thirds of the price was estimated for the manor house. The estate inventory was auctioned off from June 16 to 18, 1819.
