The hammer lock with the ponds belonging to it in the district Leupoldsdorf is a listed building. With extensive renovation and reconstruction measures, the facility has again been staged and is now a new tourist destination.
In the gatehouse, a tourist information center has been created with an attached exhibition on the topic of hammer lock and hammer lords. The grounds were renovated and restored the historically occupied garden. For this purpose, vacant buildings were demolished and reconstructed on the site of a formal gardens on old plans occupied. At the same time, the former mill race was uncovered again. This created an attractive spa park, which extends the tourist offer of our community.
The other part of the castle is a restaurant.

The historic ensemble impressively reflects a significant part of the past industrial history of the region. Because of the deposits of minerals and ores, mining, hammering and metallurgy in the Fichtelgebirge were the basis for a certain level of prosperity.

Be sure to visit the exhibition inside the museum and enjoy a walk through the ponds!

The listed Hammerschloss Leupoldsdorf (sometimes also referred to as Leupoldsdorfer Hammer) is located in the Leupoldsdorf district of the Upper Franconian municipality of Tröstau in the district of Wunsiedel in the Fichtelgebirge (Schloßweg 14).
The area in which Leupoldsdorf was located was owned by the Counts of Truhendingen in the 12th century. In 1386 they pledged their property to the Bishop of Bamberg. On March 10, 1396, Johann von Truhendingen sold his property to Bishop Lamprecht of Bamberg, with Leupersdorf also appearing in the list.
The Leupoldsdorfer Hammer was first mentioned on December 29, 1393. On April 30, 1432, the margrave of Kulmbach-Bayreuth mentions the hammer on the occasion of a transfer to Ulrich von Taubenmerckel. Under the owners Franck (from 1563) and Schreyer (from 1620), the hammer mill developed into an important business. The hammer was badly damaged during the Thirty Years' War. In 1708, the margravial hunter Michael Müller, married to a daughter of the hammer master Simon Schreyer, took over the hammer. Under Johann Christoph von Müller, who was ennobled in 1816, the Leupoldsdorf Hammersmith experienced its heyday. In the 18th and 19th centuries there was a bar hammer with blast furnace, fresh fire, zain hammer, tin hammer and tin house. The work died out in 1863 because of competition from England and America. Since the hammer owner had 13 unmarried daughters to look after, the land and buildings belonging to the hammer mill were sold from 1895 onwards. The castle of the former mill owner von Müller has been owned by the König family since 1917 and is now a restaurant.[1]
