To make a day of it
Schloss Fuchsmühl stands in Fuchsmühl (Landkreis Tirschenreuth), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Schloss Fuchsmühl stands at the eastern edge of the Steinwald, on an estate first documented in the 14th century under the name Fossenmühl. The present complex combines a classicist manor house, an older lordly residence and an 18th century chapel, set within a farmyard and a landscaped park with ponds. The armorial tombs preserved inside the chapel still bear witness to the noble families who held this fief until the 20th century.
What to know
- The castle now operates as a hotel, which determines access to the interior spaces.
- The Mariä Opferung chapel, with its rococo decoration and armorial tombs, is the most notable historic feature of the site.
- The landscaped park with its ponds and the adjoining farmyard can be seen from the outside.
- No visiting hours or admission fees are published for this site, so it is best to check locally.
- The building is listed as a Baudenkmal in Bavaria, a designation concerning the structure itself, independent of its current hotel use.
