Sauer Castle is an Italianate architecture home at 935 Shawnee Road in Kansas City, Kansas, built from 1871 to 1873. It was designed by famed architect Asa Beebe Cross as the residence of German immigrant and local business owner Anton Sauer. He had married Francesca in Vienna, Austria at age 18. There, they had their five children: Gustave O.L., Anthony Philip Jr., Julius J., Emil, and Johanna.
The house is on the National Register of Historic Places. A Kansas City, Kansas Public Library historian called it, "Without a doubt, the most famous residence in Kansas City, Kansas".
