Schloss Theisenort stands in Küps (Landkreis Kronach), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Theisenort stands on a rocky spur above the Rodach valley at Küps, in the Landkreis Kronach, Bavaria. First recorded as a noble seat in 1335, it belonged to the von Redwitz family for more than five centuries before passing to the Counts of Egloffstein and then, in 1909, to the Eckart family, who still own it today. A lightning strike in 1947 burned the main building to the ground, and its postwar reconstruction left little of the original castle character. What remains includes the fourteenth-century old guardhouse, an outer bailey with a tithe barn, and the neighbouring simultaneous church built in 1699.
