The gardens behind the castle are interesting, with very old trees from 1794.

The ensemble of the old and new castle with the rent master's office and the Protestant town church characterizes the city center of Bad König. The Old Castle was built by the Counts of Erbach-Schönberg in the 16th century and decorated with artistic exterior paintings. Today it houses the city administration. The Bad König local history museum is located on the ground floor in the inner courtyard of the castle. Immediately next to the Old Palace is the late baroque New Palace from 1793 with its associated chamber building. The charming melody of a carillon sounds four times a day from the tower of the neighboring church. The former rent master's office from 1804, the youngest of the stately buildings, completes the beautiful ensemble. From the inner courtyard of the Old Castle you can reach the pleasure garden, which invites you to take a short walk.
