Faber-Castell-Schloss, Architectural heritage monument in Stein, Bavaria.
Description
Faber-Castell Castle is a manor house in Stein that combines medieval and modern architectural elements within its structure. A distinctive bell tower connects the older and newer sections of the building and serves as a visual anchor for the whole complex.
History
The castle was built between 1903 and 1906 after Count Alexander zu Castell-Rüdenhausen married Ottilie von Faber in 1898. This union of two powerful families created a new center for both family life and the business operations that would shape the region.
Culture
The rooms inside display different styles from French reception areas to Renaissance libraries that show how wealthy families arranged their living spaces. The mix of design periods tells a story about the tastes and travels of the people who lived here.
Practical
The castle functions as company headquarters today and visitors can only see it through guided tours that cover selected areas of the complex. It helps to check tour availability beforehand and wear comfortable shoes since you will walk through many rooms and hallways.
Did you know?
The castle features Art Nouveau bathrooms with sunken marble baths that show the luxury standards of the early 1900s. These rooms reveal how cutting-edge plumbing and skilled craftsmanship were combined in private homes of that era.
