Schloss Alexandersbad is the historical heart and the place of origin of the spa operations in Bad Alexandersbad (Wunsiedel district in the Fichtelgebirge). In contrast to classic castles, the building never served as a princely residence, but was built directly as a spa hotel and health center for accommodating spa guests.

Redevelopment area in the heart of Tröstau. On the former "Haumann site," the Grötschenbach stream was uncovered, making the historic mill grounds near the Burggut estate accessible to the public. In addition, the publicly accessible village hall "Dorf-Stodl" was built next to it, along with a maypole area. ]
