Schloss Ramholz

Schloss Ramholz is a manor house in Schlüchtern with about 80 rooms that combines various architectural styles from Gothic to Art Nouveau. The buildings developed over several periods, with each era leaving its mark through different structural elements and decorative styles.

The property was first documented in 1167 as a holding of the von Steckelberg family and later changed hands several times. Its current form resulted from extensive renovations between 1893 and 1896, when the von Stumm family expanded the castle as their residence.

The castle represented wealth and artistic ambition in the 19th century when the von Stumm family made it their residence. The rooms and grounds reflect the tastes of that era and show how prosperous families shaped their homes and estates.

The castle is private property and cannot be visited, but the surrounding 80-hectare park is open to visitors. You can walk the paths and discover smaller structures scattered throughout the grounds.

The park was designed by Swedish landscape artist Jöns Persson Lindahl and contains many small structures including a crypt chapel. This hidden chapel served as a private place for prayer and reveals the spiritual dimension of the estate.
