Schloss Liebenstein

The rectangular stone building displays a high gable roof, decorative three-part curved gables, and corner turret-style bay windows at Heimbacher Straße.

Philipp Albrecht von Liebenstein built the castle in 1686 using proceeds from selling ancestral estates during a family dispute with his brother.

The Renaissance architecture incorporates elements from the destroyed Hohenstaufen Castle and features three round stair towers serving different social functions.

The privately owned castle maintains its original structural elements, including mineral springs in the cellars that date back to the initial construction.

Stone mason Hans Neu created the Rebenstiege, a staircase adorned with detailed vine patterns and animal representations, in the year 1562.
