This was formerly the site of the service apartments and guest rooms of the neighboring Princely Palace.

Former Princely Palace Heinrichsruh. This was the summer residence of the Reuss princes.

Unfortunately, this castle cannot be visited.

It will be renovated gradually (2024), but is already impressive. It is advertised as "The gateway to the 1000 ponds".

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.
