    Tips

    January 7, 2017

    Eybach Castle was built in 1540 by the Counts of Degenfeld as a Renaissance castle. After the destruction of the castle Hoheneybach in the Thirty Years' War, the castle became the main residence of the counts. It was replaced in the 18th century by the current transitional style of Rococo to Classicism, two gatehouses of the previous building are still preserved.

    The buildings worth seeing are still privately owned by the counts. When the gate is open, you can enter the courtyard and have a look. Unfortunately, the pretty castle garden hides behind a high wall.

    Close by is the Eagle Fountain. The late Gothic village church and the newly designed spring of Mühlbach in the center of Eybach are worth a short detour.

        The Eybach Castle (Graf Castle at Lauterstein) is idyllically located in the heart of Eybach. The castle garden / park can be seen from the small hiking trail that leads to the sky rock.
