The castle is fenced and unfortunately a lost place

The Lauter'sche Schlösschen is considered to be the oldest secular building in the city. It is a late Gothic mansion that was first mentioned in 1338. The current building dates back to 1440 and was later expanded and rebuilt. The Bergwinkel Museum has been located here since 1948 - the city museum of Schlüchtern.

Eisenhammer Castle, built in 1723, is located above Neuenschmidten. It served both as a hunting lodge and as the planned seat for the administrators of the iron hammer, which was built in Neuenschmidten in the early 18th century. Eisenhammer Castle is a broad, baroque building with twenty window axes, a mansard roof, a central dwelling and a high roof turret with a multi-tiered hood. The central axis is emphasized by the gateway, above which the coat of arms of the Princes of Isenburg is placed in a cartouche made of sandstone. The ground floor and first floor consist of plastered sandstone masonry, above which there is clapboard half-timbering. On the courtyard side there is a curved flight of stairs. Various outbuildings are grouped around the courtyard, including a residential building from the early 18th century made of plastered half-timbering with a mansard roof and various farm buildings. At the moment, however, the complex does not look very well-kept and is mostly empty.

Eisenhammer Castle is a modern castle from the 18th century north of Neuenschmidten, a district of the municipality of Brachtal in the Main-Kinzig district in Hesse. Source: Wikipedia
