Schloss Kaibitz, Architectural heritage monument and archaeological site in Kemnath, Germany

The castle features a three-story central building with mansard roof and two-story side wings with hipped roofs in a landscaped park.

Constructed before 1629 as a moated residence, the castle underwent renovation in 1795 under the ownership of Countess Amalia Lochnerin von Hüttenbach.

The castle served as temporary storage for writer Gerhart Hauptmann's archives in 1945, reflecting its connection to German literary history.

The privately owned castle allows exterior viewing only, with visitors able to observe the architecture and surrounding park from outside the premises.

The eastern wing contained horse stables, while the former outbuildings include a paper mill and castle brewery with cellars featuring six-meter-thick walls.
