The small town center of Schönberg is cute and well-kept, and there is also a parking lot at the castle from where you can start good hikes.

The later castle, first mentioned in 1261 as a knight's seat in a moated castle, came to the Barons of Reitzenstein in 1485, who owned it for 460 years. The associated manor developed into the sixth largest in the Vogtland. The building in its current form dates back to 1685, with the exception of the octagonal watchtower from 1485 in the middle. After the expropriation in 1945, the castle was used for various municipal purposes and gradually fell into disrepair. It has been privately owned again since 1994 and has been extensively renovated.

There is a small playground here and the path leads to the Lord's Graves, which are also a little off the beaten track in the palace park.
