In Zeil am Main, the Schönborn Palace, an early Baroque hunting lodge, is a three-winged structure. Its architecture adapts to the hillside, with the longitudinal wings being two-story and the transverse wing three-story.

History+

The palace was built between 1695 and 1710 by order of Lothar Franz von Schönborn. It originally served as a hunting lodge. Although Leonhard Dientzenhofer is occasionally presumed to be the master builder, there is no confirmed evidence for this. A stair tower in the inner courtyard of the former hunting lodge is dated to the 19th century.

On site+

Today, the building houses the tax office and is thus partly accessible to the public. Its condition is well-maintained.
