Degenfeldsches Schloss, Cultural heritage monument in Gross-Karben, Germany

The Degenfeldsches Schloss consists of three wings with mansard and hipped roofs, forming a west-oriented complex in the center of Gross-Karben.

The castle was built in 1728 by Anna-Maria von Hutten-Stolzenberg zu Steinbach, replacing an earlier manor house constructed by Helfrich von Kroneck in 1673.

The castle complex represents architectural elements from both the 18th and 19th centuries, with distinct features in its northern, western, and southern wings.

The castle underwent a private sale in 2013 for 350,000 euros, requiring an additional two million euros in renovation costs for its preservation.

The building has served multiple functions throughout its history, including as a town hall, police station, school, public bath, library, and youth club.
