Sogenanntes Unteres Schloss stands in Buttenheim (Landkreis Bamberg), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The sogenanntes Unteres Schloss in Buttenheim is a Baroque mansion built in 1774 against a surviving medieval square tower, all that remained of an earlier residence repeatedly destroyed by fire. A stone double staircase with a wrought iron railing leads to the entrance, marked above by the combined coat of arms of the von Seefried and von Stiebar families. The tower houses a chapel that now serves as the local Protestant parish church. The building is still inhabited by the von Seefried auf Buttenheim family.

What to know

  • Only the chapel, set inside the medieval tower, functions as a Protestant church and remains accessible for services.
  • The building is listed as a Baudenkmal in Bavaria.
  • No opening hours or admission fees are published; the exterior can be seen from the public space in the village.
