Schloss, Medieval castle in Mitwitz, Germany.

The Oberes Schloss in Mitwitz is a three-storey Baroque building erected in 1713 on older walls by Carlo Domenico Lucchese for Johann Ludwig von Würtzburg. Its seven-axis facade has a shallow three-axis central risalit, and above the main entrance four columns carry a large balcony forming an open carriage porch. A band with the double coat of arms of the Würtzburg family sits on the roof instead of a triangular pediment; a winter garden was added on the left side.

The original building dates from the late Middle Ages, probably the 14th or 15th century, as shown by its cross-ribbed vaults; the exact year is not documented. The first known owners were the lords of Schaumberg until 1425, followed by the lords of Rosenau. In 1631–1634, during the Thirty Years' War, the castle burned down, leaving only the cellar and parts of the ground floor. Johann Ludwig von Würtzburg had it rebuilt in 1713 to a design by Carlo Domenico Lucchese.

The castle takes its name from the Würtzburg family: Johann Ludwig von Würtzburg had it rebuilt in 1713, and the double coat of arms of the Würtzburgs sits above the main entrance. The noble line died out with Ludwig Freiherr von Würtzburg in 1922; his daughter Annie married Theodor II von Cramer-Klett, and the estate passed to that family, which still owns it. On the churchyard of the Jakobskirche, 23 gravestones document the family's history.

The site lies on the slope of the Jakobsberg, about 300 metres southeast of the Lower Castle and roughly 80 metres above it in the valley; the grounds cover just under 2.8 hectares and adjoin the churchyard of the Jakobskirche. The park has old trees, and the grave chapel for Edmund von Würtzburg stands among them, with the graves of Regina and Anne-Marie von Cramer-Klett nearby. The castle itself is privately owned by the family descended from the Würtzburgs, so visits should be arranged in advance.

The park holds a burial chapel that Ludwig Freiherr von Würtzburg had built for his son Edmund, who fell in the First World War in 1915. Nearby lie the baronesses Regina and Anne-Marie von Cramer-Klett. The family line of the Würtzburgs died out in 1922 with Ludwig, and the estate passed to the Cramer-Klett family, who still own it.
