Built in the year 1777 and then again and again expanded castle building with the seat of the Borch'schen forest administration (not to be visited).
The outbuildings and the forester's lodge in the Sophienreuth district, both built around 1873, are listed as the castle itself.

Built in 1777 and then expanded again and again, the castle building is the seat of Von der Borch's forest administration (not open to the public).
Farm buildings and the forester's lodge in the district of Sophienreuth, both built around 1873, are listed as monuments, as is the castle itself.

The castle avenue, with its old chestnut and beech trees, is a protected natural area. For this reason, every effort is made to preserve the trees:

Trees that are already hollow inside have been reinforced and stabilized with iron bracing.

A visit here is particularly worthwhile in spring, when the fresh green of the leaves shines, and in autumn with its magnificent foliage.

It's only about 200 meters from the "Pearl Route" cycle path to here, and definitely worth the walk.
