Schloss

Schloss Maroldsweisach is a two-story mansion featuring a mansard roof, rusticated corner pilasters, and a central projection with three window axes in classical design. The building showcases refined architectural details typical of its construction period.

A water castle from the 13th century originally stood at this location but was destroyed in 1525 during the Peasants' War. The current building replaced the ruins in the early 18th century with a new architectural style.

The chapel inside the building displays Rococo decorations with ornate stucco work on the ceilings, featuring shell motifs and musical instrument designs.

The building sits in the center of Maroldsweisach and is accessible by car with local parking or by train to the VGN endpoint station in Ebern with connecting buses. The setting provides straightforward access and orientation for visitors.

The building's second floor was intentionally left incomplete and never finished, giving its facade an unbalanced appearance. This was a result of financial difficulties during construction.
