    The castle was probably founded around 1200 by the Lords of Lobdeburg.
    It was first documented in 1367 as the "House of Schleiz" of the Reusses of Gera.
    After a fire (1482), Henry XII of Gera had a palace built on the same site.
    In 1550, it initially passed into the possession of the Burgrave of Meissen line of the Lords and Reusses of Plauen.
    From 1616, the castle belonged to Reuss Jr.
    From 1647 to 1848, it was the residence of the House of Reuss and Schleiz Jr.

    The residential palace in Schleiz once belonged, among other things, to the Principality of Reuss' younger line. Unfortunately, it was senselessly destroyed by the Allied troops during World War II. There is a beautiful little park connected to it, with large old trees, a fountain ⛲ with a water feature and seating.

    The old castle of Schleiz was reduced to rubble and ashes shortly before the end of the war
