    The castle houses a castle café and a castle hotel with four elegant suites. Exhibitions, cultural events such as B. Café concerts and an annual Christmas market. You can also take part in an informative and interesting tour of the castle with the lord of the castle.

      The pies in the cafe you should definitely try. It also has a great view of Eggerland

        First mentioned in 1261 as the knight seat of a moated castle. In 1485 the castle came to the barons of Reitzenstein. Today, the castle houses a cafe.

          The later castle, first mentioned in 1261 as a knight's seat in a moated castle, came to the Freiherren von Reitzenstein in 1485, who owned it for 460 years. The associated manor developed into the sixth largest in the Vogtland. The building in its current form dates back to 1685, with the exception of the octagonal watchtower from 1485 in the middle. After the expropriation in 1945, the castle was used for various municipal purposes and gradually fell into disrepair. It has been privately owned again since 1994 and has been extensively renovated.

            The two opposite Fosthäuser from the years 1770 and 1820 belong to the former manor.

                Schönberg is the southernmost town in Saxony. There is also a sour well with iron-containing water. "It's best to bring a drinking vessel." The paths to get there are well signposted.

                  There is a small parking lot in front of the castle. Ideal starting point for hikes in the border area with its beautiful nature.
