Effelder Castle was essentially built in the 16th century in Effelder in southern Thuringia (Frankenblick). The listed building has been used as the town hall since 2000.
A defense structure in an exposed spur location probably already existed in the late Middle Ages. It was probably the seat of the manor that the noble family von Schaumberg owned in Effelder in 1337 as a fiefdom of the Banz monastery. Around 1490 a residential tower was converted into a small castle, which Hans von Schaumberg had expanded between 1525 and 1533.
