Haus Blumenthal

The rectangular estate includes a two-story main building with seven axes and an adjacent hall building featuring side wings and stone portals.

First documented in 1452 under Karl von Honseler's ownership, the castle passed to Johann von Blumenthal in 1542, who received noble status from Emperor Charles V.

The structure combines architectural elements from the 16th and 17th centuries, with the grand hall building displaying decorative portals and large windows with stone frames.

Visitors should note that the castle is undergoing renovation works to create residential and office spaces while maintaining its historical walls and moat.

The property includes an English landscape garden park and plans are in progress to restore the original moat with a bridge leading to the courtyard.
