Schloss

Schloss is an architectural monument located in Unterleinleiter in Upper Franconia, Bavaria. The main structure contains about 29 rooms and sits within grounds featuring both historic and contemporary elements.

The first written record of the castle dates to 1372. Destruction from the Peasants' War in 1523 and a fire in 1690 that left it ruined led to later reconstruction efforts.

The estate takes its name from its role as a residence of noble rank. Visitors today experience how the grounds blend historical structures with contemporary works of art.

The grounds are spacious and easy to explore on foot. A historic well on the property offers insight into how water was supplied to the surrounding area.

Modern art sculptures by artist Harro Frey are scattered throughout the park, creating an interesting contrast with the historic buildings. A historic sandstone tea house adds to this unusual blend of old and new.
