Lersnersches Schloss

Lersnersches Schloss is a multi-wing manor house including the Charlottenburg section, with stables and a mill as supporting structures. The entire complex sits within an English-style landscaped park on Frankfurt's outer edges.

The Lersner family built this castle in 1768 and made it their noble residence for nearly three centuries. Over time the estate was transformed and now serves as protected residential apartments.

The buildings show how Frankfurt's 18th-century nobles combined residential comfort with working farm operations. You can still see how different spaces were designed to serve both purposes.

The estate is located in the Nieder-Erlenbach neighborhood and is visible from outside due to its protected monument status. The private apartments within the castle are not open to the public, though the park can often be viewed from a distance.

During the 19th century the family operated a notable horse breeding operation on these grounds that became known throughout the region. This equestrian tradition shaped daily life on the estate for many decades.
