    Schmölz Castle was first mentioned in 1194 as Smoulnce, then from 1264 as Smolenz and from 1329 as Schmalnz. The barons of Redwitz were the castle and manors. The old castle of Schmölz was destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1525. The new castle was built in 1536 and is now owned by the artist Paul Eddie Pfisterer and his wife Girle Pfisterer.

      The beautifully situated beer garden above the Schmölzer village pond is definitely worth a visit. The food on offer is, as far as I can tell as a pork denier. Of course, the cucumbers and the pickled vegetables from Graf from Schmölz are remarkable.
      But let's get to the most important thing at a beer garden, the beer from the Schmölzer Dorfbrauerei. "Schmölzer Kellerseidla". This is a typical cellar beer: semi-dark, naturally cloudy, not too bitter, not too sweet - just a classic beer garden beer.
      However, please note the opening times that are always updated on the Facebook page of the Schmölzer Dorfbrauerei: facebook.com/SchmoelzerBrauerei

        The beer garden opposite is highly recommended; everything just fits together there.
