Rotes Schloss

Rotes Schloss is a castle in Obernzenn with characteristic red stone walls that define its appearance. The building displays classic features of South German château architecture and sits at the edge of the small town in a quiet setting.

Architect Johann David Steingrüber designed the castle during a period of significant building activity in the Middle Franconian region. The structure was created as part of the architectural development of Obernzenn and the surrounding area.

The castle takes its name from the distinctive red-colored walls that stand out prominently in the flat Middle Franconian landscape. This striking coloring shapes how locals and visitors perceive the building and makes it a recognizable landmark in the area.

The castle is located on Seckendorffstraße 3 in Obernzenn and is easily reached from the town center. The quiet setting makes it possible to view the red walls from different angles and explore the surrounding area comfortably.

The red coloring of the walls was a deliberate architectural choice that set the castle apart from other noble residences in the region. This decision by architect Steingrüber made the building a striking landmark in an area otherwise dominated by gray stone construction.
