Schloss Schönstadt, Medieval castle in Schönstadt, Germany.

The castle includes a two-story manor house with a mansard roof and features a late Gothic octagonal tower at its southwestern corner.

First documented in 1344 as a water castle, the structure underwent major renovations between 1749 and 1751 for Georg Friedrich Milchling von Schönstadt.

The castle passed through generations of noble families, from the Milchling dynasty to the von Bethmann family through marriage connections.

The castle remains in private ownership and requires permission for visits, with coordinates at 50.8826 latitude and 8.8293 longitude.

Around 1900, chemical industry pioneer Eugen Lucius, a founder of Hoechst AG, acquired the castle and added a second octagonal tower.
