ブライテンバッハアムヘルツベルクの洞窟・トップ14

has something special, great location, very nicely situated in the park

After spending the night here, you'll be treated to a very diverse breakfast selection. I was initially overwhelmed. Everything tasted very good.

Be sure to take the elevator up the tower. The tour guide's casual stories were very amusing and the view from the top is amazing.

The town of Schlitz has several castles.

The Vorderburg, which today houses the castle museum and the ballroom of the town of Schlitz, was built in its current form between 1565 and 1600. Its origins go back to the central Romanesque residential tower from the Middle Ages (the base of the tower was built before 1181). The core of the east wing is medieval, while the west wing was built around 1600. Various construction phases can be seen in the central, former residential tower. A porch consisting of an altar and stair tower, traces of which can still be seen, was demolished in 1812, and the late Gothic portal of the stair tower is now located in the garden exit of the Vorderburg tower. The narrow and rear sides of the two wings of the massive building have Renaissance gables. The tower roof dates from the 16th century. A wooden, partly baroque staircase leads to the various floors. The portal decorated with coats of arms from 1565 could be the work of Philipp Soldan from Frankenberg. In 1950, a chime system consisting of 26 bells was installed in the tower roof, which can be operated both electronically and manually. According to the wishes of its founder, Count Otto Hartmann von Schlitz, this carillon is intended to promote international understanding. At 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., folk songs from different nations can be heard over the roofs of the city on a weekly rotation.

The building belonging to the castle now houses the concert hall of the State Music Academy.

On the plot of land called "die Hall" there was originally a fortified farm belonging to the Lords of Schlitz. It was expanded in the 16th century and later became the permanent residence of the count's family. Friedrich Wilhelm Count of Schlitz, known as von Görtz, had the baroque castle built on the site between 1706 and 1712. The plans were drawn up by Louis Rémy de la Fosse. The castle burned down in 1755 and was soon repaired. Count Karl Heinrich had the mansard roof removed around 1800 and a mezzanine floor with a flatter hipped roof added, giving the castle its current classicist appearance. According to plans by Hugo von Ritgen, the master builder and then professor of civil engineering at the University of Giessen, a historicist extension was added to the west side of the central farm building in 1867. In 1954 the count's family donated the castle and its park to the town of Schlitz. It was prepared for use as a high school by reinforcing the ceilings, although the classicist stucco ceilings were destroyed in the process. The high school was located in the castle from 1956 to 1977. From 1978 to 2002 the castle stood empty. There was water damage and severe dry rot infestation. Gutted, renovated and rebuilt from 2001 to 2003, the castle now houses the Hesse State Music Academy.

In Schlitz you can take a break and take a walk around.
