Description

Schloss Eberstein, also called Neu-Eberstein or Neueberstein, is a castle in Gernsbach-Obertsrot in the Baden-Württemberg district of Rastatt. It was originally a spur castle of the Counts of Eberstein with a shield wall towards the slope, whose uphill side was reinforced by the rectangular bergfried. The complex was extended several times and at the beginning of the 19th century was converted by the ruling family of Baden into a country palace. Schloss Eberstein is a settlement of Gernsbach and serves today as a hotel, restaurant, winery and private residence.
