Schloss Oberzwieselau, Castle in Lindberg, Germany
Schloss Oberzwieselau is a two-story manor house in Lindberg featuring a clock tower and varied roof designs on its north and south elevations. The property includes pavilion structures along the park boundary and contains approximately twenty historical rooms within its walls.
The current castle was built in 1839 under Benedikt von Poschinger's direction, though records mention the site from 1528 when it was sold to Freiherr Johann von Degenberg. The transformation into its present form took place roughly 300 years after the location was first documented.
The castle served as a key administrative hub for the region's glass manufacturing industry until 1918. From 1840 to 1865, it operated a school for glassmakers' children, reflecting its deep ties to local craft traditions.
The property sits at Oberzwieselau 1 and remains in private ownership today. While the interior is off-limits to visitors, the exterior and surrounding park can be viewed from outside the grounds.
In 1988, the grounds were partly transformed when an 18-hole golf course was developed on the property and opened to players in 1993. This expansion created an unusual blend of historic architecture and modern sports facilities on the same land.
