Schloss Unterschüpf, Renaissance water castle in Boxberg, Germany
Schloss Unterschüpf is a Renaissance water castle in Boxberg featuring a two-story square structure with three round corner towers. The building contains columned arcades, a central courtyard with a staircase tower, and was originally surrounded by water moats.
The castle was built in 1610, replacing an earlier fortification from 1561 at the same location. It served as a residence for the Lords of Rosenberg.
The castle displays Renaissance architectural features with its round corner towers and rusticated portal at the entrance. Visitors can see these design elements clearly while walking around the building.
The castle has been operated by the city of Boxberg as an educational center for children with speech impairments since the 1980s. Check ahead for opening hours and accessibility information before planning a visit.
The water moats that once surrounded the castle were filled in during 1830, yet its outer appearance remained remarkably unchanged compared to the original construction. This preservation makes the building a rare witness to early modern building design.
