Schloss Ermreuth, Manor house in Neunkirchen am Brand, Germany.
Schloss Ermreuth is a three-storey manor house with a distinctive hipped roof standing in the Upper Franconian village of Ermreuth. The building has a classic architectural form and holds a prominent position in the village landscape.
The building was reconstructed after a fire in the early 16th century when rebellious peasants destroyed the original structure. Construction was completed in 1525 and shaped the village's appearance from that point forward.
The manor served as a noble family residence and later became a training facility, showing how its purpose changed with German society over the centuries. Visitors can still trace these different periods through the building's structure and details.
The manor is located at Marktplatz 14 in Neunkirchen am Brand and is easily accessible from the village center. Walking paths surround the area and allow for a stroll through the village.
A local legend tells of a black mare that appears at night near the manor and supposedly sits on people passing by. This ghostly tale has persisted through generations in the village and remains part of local folklore today.
