It was built in 1844 in the Moorish style that was common at the time and was used by the royal family until 1918, particularly for wild boar hunting. The castle was located in a large wild boar enclosure, a type of enclosure known as a "sucking garden". In this area, wild boars were cared for and looked after for the royal hunt. The castle is usually closed, but today it is used by the municipality of Dittersdorf, which also organizes its maintenance, as an event venue.

Eberstein hunting lodge was built in the Moorish ruin style. It is located in the former wild boar enclosure, where wild boars were intensively cared for and hunted by the royal family until 1918. The cellar rooms were used to store game feed and there are still remains of a horse stable.

beautiful vantage point with rest stop

The small Eberstein hunting lodge was built in 1844 in the Moorish ruin style. It is located in the former wild boar gate ("Saugarten"). Wild boars were intensively cared for and hunted here by the princely house until 1918. The basement rooms were used to store game fodder. In addition to the cellar rooms, the remains of a horse stable are still available.

The jewel above the Schwarza has been looked after by the Eberstein friends from Dittersdorf for several decades.
