Schloss Bellevue, Neoclassical castle in Saalburg-Ebersdorf, Germany

Schloss Bellevue is a neoclassical castle in Saalburg-Ebersdorf positioned on elevated ground between two settlements and overlooking the surrounding countryside. The building features a temple-like form with views reaching toward the distant Fichtelgebirge and Frankenwald mountain ranges.

Count Heinrich XXXV Reuss had the small castle built in 1783 in a temple-like form on the highest point of the new road from Schönbrunn via Ebersdorf to Bad Lobenstein. That new road cost the old trade route over the Grüner Esel its importance. The octagonal domed hall with two square side wings and four-column porticoes later served as a spa guest salon in the mid-19th century; after 1945 the municipality owned it, and from the 1960s to the 1980s it stored props for the village theatre group.

In the mid-19th century the building was known as a spa guest salon, where visitors were offered space for various entertainments. After the Second World War it was nationalised and passed to the municipality. From the 1960s to the 1980s it served as a store for props of the village theatre troupe.

The castle sits beside a main road between two settlements, making it easy to spot from the route between towns. Visitors should note that the interior is currently not open to the public, as the building remains closed to visitors.

The grounds feature centuries-old linden trees planted after an old trade route lost its commercial importance. These trees create a distinctive character around the building and serve as a reminder of the location's former role in regional trade networks.
