Schloss Ramholz

Schlüchtern, Germany, Germany

---

Schloss Ramholz is a historicist-style castle in the Ramholz district of Schlüchtern, Hesse, Germany, expanded between 1893 and 1895 by industrialist Hugo von Stumm onto a medieval Huttenschloss originally built in 1501 with adjacent Steckelburg ruins.

Featuring an eclectic main facade blending Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Jugendstil elements like volute gables, a faux-medieval tower, ornate oriels, and a richly decorated roofscape, it includes 80 rooms and once had outbuildings such as a farm, orangery, forester's lodge, family crypt, teahouse, and bowling alley.

Surrounded by an 80-hectare landscape park now partially public, the privately owned site—once housing a restaurant in the orangery until 2014—is not accessible to visitors but viewable from outside along nearby trails.
