Only the remains of two towers of the Schleiz Castle can be seen today. Once a stronghold of the Lords of Lobdeburg (12th century), in 1367 this castle was called the "Schleiz House" by the Vögte of Gera. After a fire in 1500, the first castle was rebuilt by Sir Henry XII. From 1647-1848 it was the main residence of Reuß-Schleiz j. L. Another fire ravaged the castle in 1837. From 1848-1918 it was the summer residence or secondary residence of Reuss j. L. as well as the administrative seat of the Oberland. The castle housed a museum from 1925 until a bomb destroyed the castle in 1945 during World War II. | Only the remains of two towers of the Schleiz Castle can be seen today.
