Burg Schmitthof, Medieval castle in Lehrbach, Germany.
The fortification contains a residential building enclosed by thick walls featuring three preserved corner towers and remnants of an ancient moat.
Built in 1538 by the Schenck family from Schweinsberg, the castle stands on the location of Reissdorf village, which became deserted in 1427.
The castle represents medieval German defensive architecture with its strategic placement in Gleental and incorporation of water-based protection systems.
Located northwest of Lehrbach in Kirtorf municipality, the castle underwent substantial restoration work between 1977 and 1979 and remains in private ownership.
The castle rises 293 meters above sea level and maintains three of its original four corner towers, demonstrating medieval engineering capabilities.
