Thumsenreuth Castle

To be privately owned

Thumsenreuth Castle already had a similar appearance to today in the third quarter of the 16th century. This is proven by a miniature view on a map from that period, which is kept in the Amberg State Archives. Christoph Notthafft, who acquired Thumsenreuth in 1586, had the castle renovated and adorned with a bay window in the same year. This bears his family coat of arms as well as the coats of arms of his two wives, Dorothea von Biberern and Martha von Seckendorff. Since 1661, Thumsenreuth Castle has been in the hands of the von Lindenfels family, who had it restored in an exemplary manner between 1992 and 1994. The castle is currently privately owned.
