Schloss Burgfarrnbach
Schloss Burgfarrnbach stands in Burgfarrnbach, a district of Fürth in Bavaria, with classical sandstone architecture built between 1830 and 1834. Leonhard Schmidtner, royal Bavarian architect, designed the building. It rises three storeys beneath a gabled roof, with a central entrance risalit, triangular pediment, and four-storey corner pavilions. These short right-angled extensions connect the four-storey pavilions.
The replacement castle occupies the site of a former water castle and extends into a park with paths, tree groups, and garden pavilions. Marstall and utility buildings complete the complex around it. The city archive, library, and museum occupy the complex, preserving Fürth’s civic collections. Library shelves hold about 35,000 volumes in all. Some volumes reach back to 1485, while archive documents extend to 1258 and include legacies of companies and personalities.
The permanent museum exhibition draws on varied collections kept in its depots and magazines. Festive occasions and soirées fill the halls. The grand hall also hosts civil wedding ceremonies.
