The "General's House", built in half-timbered style on a stone base, was built in 1550/1552 by Georg von Buchenau and his wife Susanne von Mansbach. It was probably destroyed in the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) and was renovated by Wolf Christoph Schenck zu Schweinsberg in 1713. The attached battlement tower dates from 1904. The sandstone portal is decorated with the coat of arms of Buchenau and the coat of arms of Schenck zu Schweinsberg. schloss-buchenau.de/schlossanlage/generalshaus
