Schloss Kreuth, Castle complex in Heideck, Germany.
Schloss Kreuth is a castle complex located near Heideck, situated on elevated terrain with a distinctive mansard roof design. The property comprises a main building and connecting wings that form a traditional layout typical of Middle Franconian country estates.
The castle was founded in the late 1500s as a residence for the Nützel von Sündersbühl family. Later it passed to the Oettingen-Spielberg family, solidifying its status as an important regional seat of power.
The property served as a residence for nobility and their families over many generations. Visitors can still sense how the rooms and spaces were organized to support the life of a princely household.
The property now operates as a hotel and includes an equestrian center with covered riding facilities. Visitors should note that some buildings retain historic features while other areas have been modernized for contemporary use.
A fire in 1979 destroyed major portions of the western and northern sections, causing a major transformation of the property. This event marked a turning point that eventually led to its conversion into a modern hospitality venue.
