Schloss Zaberfeld, Renaissance clergy house in Zaberfeld, Germany.
Schloss Zaberfeld is a Renaissance residential building in Zaberfeld featuring scroll gables, a sandstone portal decorated with coats of arms, and architectural details from the early 17th century. The structure displays the traditional craftsmanship and decorative elements typical of its period.
The Lords of Sternenfels built the structure between 1587 and 1619 as their private residence. After 1740 it became a parsonage for the local clergy.
The ceiling once displayed a large painting of Jupiter and Juno until the late 19th century, and the wooden door from 1519 featured dolphin carvings.
The building underwent renovation in 2000 and was converted into eight apartments, with a new community center established in the convent garden. Visitors can explore the exterior and surrounding grounds.
The portal displays decorations created for Georg Friedrich von Sternenfels and his Dutch wife Adriane van Tuyll van Serooskerken, reflecting their combined heritage. This ornamental feature blends German and Dutch artistic influences in a distinctive way.
