Schloss Bislohe

Schloss Bislohe stands in Fürth as a historic castle whose surviving architecture traces several centuries of change. The estate began as a moated Weiherhaus, documented in 1623 as a Burgersitz with a water-filled moat.

The Bühler family owned the property in the fifteenth century, while the Schwab family later shaped its history. In 1550, they established a colour-production workshop here, but fire destroyed the residence during the Second Margrave War in 1552. Reconstruction followed, and the estate joined the Schwab family foundation in 1586. An almost twenty-metre open corridor later connected the new house with an older tower, before Wallenstein’s army caused serious damage in 1632.

The Haller von Hallerstein family renovated the property in the late eighteenth century and created a guesthouse in the new manor house. A fire in 1909 destroyed much of the remaining complex, leaving part of the original manor house, which was renovated in the late twentieth century.
