The Faber Castle, also called Steiner Castle, Faber-Castell Castle, sometimes called the Pencil Castle, is a historicist palace complex from the 19th and early 20th century and consists of two parts.
Between 1843 and 1846, the so-called Alte Schloss was designed and built by the architect Friedrich Bürklein in neo-renaissance style for Lothar von Faber. Three wings surround the square, four-storey tower, whose roof is provided with pinnacles. The Fabulous family of Faber-Castell, who had become rich through the pencil production of their company Faber-Castell, left the New Palace to plans by Prof. Theodor v. 1903/1906. Kramer built in the style of German Romanesque. Both parts are connected by the richly structured, five-storey tower.
Some of the prestigious rooms were created by the then aspiring architect and designer Bruno Paul. The old and the new castle were connected by the five-storey tower, through which the gateway leads.
The New Castle houses a spacious stairwell with a stucco ceiling in Art Nouveau decor. The first floor was formerly a living suite, which is divided into a lemon room, a room of the month and a Louis-seize room. The lemon room takes its name from the furniture in it, which was made of lemon wood, the ceiling of the room shows the signs of the zodiac. On the second floor is a Gobelinsaal, whose tapestries are unfortunately no longer available, a music or ballroom and a former dining room to find. The furniture of the two castles has been lost. Nevertheless, the castle is "an artistic peculiarity and in its overall layout a remarkable example of historicism in Franconia".
