Schloss Roßla, Neoclassical château in Südharz, Germany

The quadrangular château features a prominent tower crowned with a lantern spire and stands within an English-style park filled with rare trees.

The Stolberg counts acquired the castle in 1341 from the Hohstein counts, with Count Botho zu Stolberg initiating its reconstruction around 1420.

The château housed a valuable library of 30,000 volumes, including Luther's sermons, until the Stolberg-Rossla princes were expelled in 1945.

The château now functions as a multi-purpose venue featuring a restaurant, daycare center, senior clubs, and spaces for local cultural associations.

During World War II, the château served as a subsidiary command post for Camp Dora, storing equipment for V2 rocket production.
