The Amelung House and Glassworks is a historic home located at Urbana, Frederick County, Maryland, United States. It is a two story, late-Georgian brick home on a stone foundation built about 1785. The property once had the New Bremen glassworks built by Johann Friedrich Amelung after he came to Maryland in 1784; no above-ground remains of the factory remain. Fine examples of New Bremen glass work may be seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City; the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York; and Winterthur Museum in Winterthur, Delaware.[2]

The Amelung House and Glassworks was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
