Beautiful castle on the outskirts of the Seßlach district of Heilgersdorf, which probably dates from the 14th century. In the 17th century, the original building had to give way to a baroque new building - these features have been well preserved to this day.

Heilgersdorf Castle is somewhat hidden on the edge of the Heilgersdorf district of Seßlach in the Coburg district in Upper Franconia. The former aristocratic residence was misused as a forester's house, school and refugee camp in the 19th and 20th centuries, but has been able to retain its representative baroque style to this day.

Heilgersdorf had been owned by the Stein von Lichtenstein family since the 14th century, whose ancestral castle stands on a nearby ridge (Lichtenstein Castle). The first castle complex was located in the middle of a lake and is said to have been built on driven-in wooden piles (mentioned in 1361). During the Peasants' War (1525), the rebels plundered the fortress, which was then repaired. It was destroyed again during the Thirty Years' War, but this damage was also repaired. In 1687, there was talk of a "noble house, as the front Kemmeten is called" that was said to have been "well built". However, this castle had to make way for the new baroque building shortly afterwards.

The castle was commissioned in 1717 by Adam Heinrich Gottlob von Lichtenstein as a widow's residence for his mother Florina Margareta von Veltheim, the wife of Heinrich von Lichtenstein, who died in 1693. However, she never moved there.
