On top of a red sandstone mountaintop, nestled around the trees, lies a spectacular abandoned castle that could be straight out of a Disney movie. With its numerous bay windows, battlements and towers, and many playful details, the neoGothic complex offers a picturesque sight.
In the late 1800s, the lifelong dream of a German baron was fulfilled and the foundation stone of this majestic castle was laid. Oddly enough, a few years later, he already sold the stalled building to a Germanborn industrialist from Manchester. This English baron completed the building and expanded it in the early 1900s with an extension. His family owned the entire complex until 1989. Five years later, the castle was again bought by another person that invested in the building and the access roads. Although the man passed away in 2010, he had made the castle publicly accessible after it could only be visited in rare cases. Shortly before his death, in summer 2009, he opened an excursion cafe with a local hotelier, offering fine views over the valley and mountain ranges in its vicinity. With help from the municipality, it was from this point also being used to host weddings and other large private celebrations, such as New Year's Eve and Halloween events. But unfortunately, the hotelier's contract was not extended beyond the end of 2017. Without legal protection, he could inevitably not invest in the castle anymore. The castle has been empty since then, yet it has been put up for sale again from 2020. As things stand now, no interested investors have been found to save this timeless beauty. Subsequently, the natural process of decay has slowly but surely become increasingly tangible, and today I will take you on an exclusive guided tour through this lost gemstone of German glory.
