Schloss Grünsberg

Schloss Grünsberg is a manor house on elevated ground beside the Schwarzach River with elements of medieval fortification and baroque architecture. The rooms combine different building styles that were added over several centuries.

The estate was established before 1231 on imperial land and underwent major reconstruction between 1717 and 1723. This renovation period introduced new residential areas that significantly changed the building's appearance.

The manor preserves objects spanning 13 centuries, including a wooden model of Venice's Rialto Bridge. This collection reflects how the estate attracted and retained artworks and crafted pieces over many generations.

Guided tours are offered on specific Sundays and provide access to the rooms and collections of the estate. Visitors should check opening days in advance, as access is limited to scheduled times.

In 2000, the last private owner established a foundation to protect and maintain the estate for the future. This decision secured the site's future through legal and financial structures.
