The three-story rectangular building of the Old Castle in Amtzell dates back to the 15th century. It features a hipped roof and two towers crowned by pointed, helmet-like roofs. Under Johann Maria Carl Josef Freiherr Reichlin von Meldegg, it was rebuilt between 1752 and 1754 by Baroque master builder Joh. Georg Specht from Lindenberg to its present appearance. The castle has been owned by the municipality of Amtzell since 1839. It was extensively renovated in 1993/94. Parts of the Old Castle are leased to a restaurant operator and are used as an event and wedding venue.
