Overview

  • Schloss Mainberg, a 5,000 m² Renaissance castle near Schweinfurt, remains on the market with a €3.25 million price tag.
  • Mayor Stefan Rottmann is personally leading the search for a new owner, emphasizing inclusivity with the slogan 'Schlossherr: männlich, weiblich, divers.'
  • The May 15 investor event provided a first in-person viewing opportunity, but no credible buyer has come forward yet.
  • The castle, known as the birthplace of art collector and playboy Gunter Sachs, features 28 rooms, including six bedrooms and six bathrooms, with a 632 m² main apartment.
  • Renovation challenges, including modern heating needs, and the €100,000 marketing investment by the municipality highlight the complexities of preserving the historic property.
