Description

The imposing Rauenstein Castle in the picturesque Ore Mountains has a history spanning more than a thousand years and impresses with its distinctive half-timbered architecture, radiating timeless elegance and exceptional charm. With a total floor area of approximately 1,600 m², plus an additional 580 m² in the Cavalier House, the property offers spacious, light-filled rooms with a wide range of possible uses. Much of the historic fabric has been preserved and partly restored to a high standard: original doors, windows and decorative details underscore its authentic character. This is complemented by historic furniture, paintings and valuable furnishings, which are included in the sale and further emphasize the castle’s uniqueness. The approximately 48,000 m² grounds, with well-maintained gardens, meadows and idyllic views of nature, provide an atmospheric setting for the property. Notable features include a magnificent ballroom, a luxurious suite, numerous guest rooms, a library, a wine cellar, a billiard and games room, as well as additional rooms for art and music. This variety of spaces makes Rauenstein Castle an exceptional place where history, culture and elegant living harmoniously converge. The technical facilities are equally impressive: a modern wood-chip heating system was recently installed and supplies both the castle and the Cavalier House. The castle cellar has not yet been fully developed and therefore offers additional potential for expansion. The inner courtyard is well maintained and affords views of the surrounding countryside. The yellow Cavalier House is situated diagonally opposite the castle and contains several double rooms and two holiday apartments. The ground floor also includes a small café and rooms for serving guests breakfast.
