In the center of Knau. Quickly accessible by bike from the 1000 ponds. Only accessible on foot as part of a longer hike. With its special appearance, it is definitely worth a visit. Renovation is still being planned.

It's a shame that the castle no longer exists. I only know it completely from pictures; it was destroyed in the war.

Left to decay from 1945, it now shines again in its old glory.

It was probably built in 1240, when the Lords of Lobdeburg moved from Saalburg to Schleiz. After the family died out in 1289, the castle and town fell to the Landgrave of Thuringia, until the governors of Gera were able to take possession of it around 1318. After the castle was completely destroyed in a major fire in 1475, the Lords of Gera built a new complex. It was extensively expanded by Burgrave Henry the Younger and is therefore referred to in literature as the "Burggravial Castle". This complex also burned down completely in 1689. Henry I of Reuss-Schleiz therefore had an architecturally new castle built, which was finally completed in 1753. After another major fire in 1837, which also destroyed the magnificent tower domes added around 1810, the castle was built on the vaults of the ground floor, which was destroyed by bombs from the U.S. Air Force on April 8, 1945.

...... originally painted ship's throat beam ceiling. Its span is 23m and is supported by a truss supported by a single column. In the late 18th century the property was given a modern appearance by merging older parts of the building and erecting the new manor house. At the end of the 19th century the manor was modernized for the last time by the Schneider family.

Building and estate history First mentioned in 1378 as the courtyard of the Benedictine Abbey in Saalfeld. The almost square residential tower in the center of the shelf dates from this period. It is dated by excavation finds and investigations to the year 1216 and the first structural changes around the year 1399. At the end of the Middle Ages, the Lords of Gräfendorf were employed as secular administrators of the estate. With the dissolution of the church property after the Reformation, the estate was expanded by the new owners - the Brandenstein family - with a Renaissance castle. The large palace building, which characterizes the overall picture today, was built in 1608 for representative purposes. On the first and second floor there are large ballrooms, which are unusual in their dimensions and furnishings. Such two-storey halls are otherwise only to be found in important residences. The Renaissance ballroom on the 1st floor is the heart of the complex. He is decorated with a richly decorated and....
