Schloss, Castle in Sophienreuth, Germany.

Schloss Sophienreuth is a Baroque palace complex in the hamlet of Sophienreuth, part of Schönwald in the Fichtelgebirge. The main building, altered in 1872 and rebuilt after a 1919 fire, stands alongside several outbuildings modified around 1873 and a linden-lined avenue called the Kirchallee, remnant of the former Baroque garden.

Sophienreuth was laid out in 1777 as a planned baroque estate for Wilhelm von Schmidt, a landowner from Schönwald and chamberlain of the Margrave of Bayreuth. The main building was altered in 1872 under chamberlain von Arnim, and after a fire in 1919 it was rebuilt and enlarged. Ownership passed through the von Paschwitz, von Eichthal, von Berchem and von Arnim families and is held today by the von Borch family.

The name Sophienreuth marks the 1777 planned estate of Wilhelm von Schmidt, chamberlain of the Margrave of Bayreuth. A protected linden avenue, the Kirchallee, survives from the former baroque garden. Near the Schlossteich stands a memorial cross to Hans Georg von Arnim, killed in the First World War.

Schloss Sophienreuth lies in the hamlet of Sophienreuth, a district of Schönwald on the edge of the Rehauer Forst. The grounds are private property of the von Borch family, so visitors view the baroque main building, the linden-lined Kirchallee and the outbuildings from the surrounding lanes. A memorial cross for Hans Georg von Arnim, fallen in the First World War, stands by the Schlossteich.

A boundary stone of the von Eichthal family, one of those set after 1841 to mark the estate in continuous numbering, stands in front of the Schönwald school. By the castle pond there is a memorial cross for Hans Georg von Arnim, who fell in the First World War.
