Schloss Buchenau, Manor house in Lindberg, Germany
Schloss Buchenau is a manor house in Lindberg featuring a two-story structure with a saddle roof, corner turrets, and a roof lantern in the historicist style. The property is set within a garden landscape surrounded by forest.
Benedikt von Poschinger, a glass manufacturer and imperial knight, began building the estate in 1840. After his death in 1856, his son Ferdinand Friedrich Wilhelm von Poschinger expanded it in the Historicist style between 1868 and 1870. The glassworks went bankrupt in 1932, and the castle stood unused for nine years.
Since 2006 the Förderkreis Schloss Buchenau has run the estate as a cultural centre. It hosts a garden market with a wild garlic festival at the end of May, a Genussmarkt on 3 October and an Advent market each year.
