To be privately owned

In the Upper Franconian town of Rödental, in the district of Oeslau, stands Oeslau Castle. Originally developed from a defensive installation, it evolved into a moated castle and finally a palace, which is now privately owned.

History+

The first documented mention of the settlement of Oeslau dates back to 1162. A manor with a defensive structure was established along a medieval trade route and a ford across the Röden river. From the 14th century, the estate belonged to the lords of Coburg, who sold it in 1451 to the mint masters of Rosenau.
