    The Dermbach Castle was built in 1707 as the seat of the administrative administration by the Prince Abbot of Fulda, Adalbert von Schleifras. The castle consists of three buildings in the Baroque style that enclose a wide rectangular courtyard. The interior of the main building, which until 1736 housed the chapel of the Franciscan monastery opposite (the monastery existed between 1730 and 1817[14]) and the Catholic school, contains a spacious staircase and ceilings with decorative ornaments. The castle was used as an administrative building until 1918. After that, the buildings were used by the forestry office, the police, a museum, a youth hostel or as an office. In 1952, the border police and later the "Florian Geyer" border regiment of the National People's Army of the GDR moved in. The castle is currently used as the mayor's office, library and for youth and cultural rooms. (Wikipedia)
