Schloss Birken, Heritage château in Bayreuth, Germany

The Baroque residence consists of a main building with stucco ceilings, a garden pavilion, and various structures along Heinrich-von-Kleist Street.

Between 1687 and 1692, Court Marshal Hans Wilhelm von Erffa demolished old structures to build a ministerial house following Charles Philippe Dieussart plans.

From 1756, the estate operated as a foundation providing accommodation and support to four noble widows and four civilian widows for over 200 years.

The château, located at Schlosshof Birken 27, underwent extensive restoration work after the Rothenbücher family acquired the property in 1975.

Bernardo Quadri created the interior stucco ceilings between 1689 and 1692, adding refined details to the ministerial residence.
