Berreuth also had a beautiful knight's castle with a large park. In 1550 the owners were the Lords of Los, in 1560 Elector August, during the Thirty Years' War Court Marshal Taube, and around 1750 Chamberlain Lippold von Reinhardtsgrimma. In 1893 Baron Pergler von Perglas acquired the manor. In more recent times the castle passed into the possession of the banker Arnold in 1931, who then left it to the Lindenhayn family. In 1946 the castle went up in flames and burned down to its foundations.
