Schloss Antfeld, Baroque château in Olsberg, Germany.
Schloss Antfeld is a baroque manor in Olsberg with three wings and a two-story main building marked by slender corner towers. A rectangular courtyard is enclosed by auxiliary buildings that form a complete enclosed yard complex.
The estate was first documented in writing in 1259 with Lambertus and Volmarus de Antvelde as early owners. The current baroque form came from later renovations that transformed it into what stands today.
The chapel inside holds baroque altars and sculptural figures from the 1700s set within decorated wall recesses, reflecting the faith of former residents. These religious artworks shape how the courtyard feels and tell you about the family's devotion.
The mansion is a private residence and can be viewed from outside, but access to the interior is restricted out of respect for the residents. It is worth viewing the outer facade and the portal with the heraldic lions from a public viewpoint.
The entrance portal is crowned with heraldic lions carrying the coats of arms of the von Schade and von Ense families, standing above a double-flight staircase. These armorial symbols display the connections and noble standing of the family who controlled this place.
