Geyso-Schloss, Renaissance castle in Mansbach, Germany
The rectangular stone building features multiple floors, a half-timbered extension, and stands at an elevation of 340 meters in eastern Hesse.
Wilhelm von Mansbach constructed the castle between 1577 and 1578 to replace the previous structure destroyed by Abbot Bertho IV of Fulda in 1276.
The castle houses a local history museum in its half-timbered wing, preserving the heritage and traditions of the Mansbach community.
The main building remains in private ownership and functions as residential housing, while the museum section welcomes visitors during regular hours.
From 1935 to 1945, the castle served as a military horse training facility where the Wehrmacht prepared thousands of horses for military service.
