Schloss Gleisenau, Château in Ebelsbach, Bavaria, Germany.
Schloss Gleisenau is a three-story mansion in Ebelsbach built on a stone foundation with corner bastions and features curved arch portals with decorative elements. The main building shares the grounds with adjoining structures that now house municipal facilities and administrative offices.
The Fuchs family held ownership for over three centuries before selling the property in 1767 to cathedral dean Otto Philipp Erhart Ernst Groß von Trockau. This sale marked a shift in control and the building's trajectory.
The chapel displays intricate stone carvings on its exterior and a six-sided roof turret with a curved dome. These details speak to the craftsmanship of those who originally built the structure.
The castle is in a condition that allows for visits, and the adjoining buildings are easy to reach and explore on the grounds. Weekdays offer a quieter experience when administrative offices are in regular operation.
From 1968 to 1994, the Swiss machinery company Kugelfischer operated a corporate training facility within the castle walls. This industrial chapter ended when the municipality purchased the property and began its stewardship.
