Schloss, Heritage castle in Ahorn, Germany.

The castle features four sides with two round corner towers, a high-pitched roof, and a central courtyard layout measuring several hundred square meters.

First mentioned in 1075 as Burg Ahorny, the castle was destroyed in 1525 during the Peasants' War and rebuilt by Joachim von Rosenau in 1555.

The spiral staircase incorporates a decorated portal from 1621, representing the architectural elements of German Renaissance nobility residential structures.

Located at Hauptstraße 48 in Ahorn, the castle remains under private ownership by the von Erffa family and requires advance arrangements for visits.

The castle contains architectural elements from multiple centuries, including structures from 1555, 1621, and modifications from 1876.
