Buchenau Castle The estate was built starting in 1840 for the glass manufacturer and Imperial Knight Benedikt von Poschinger. After his death in 1856, he was succeeded by his son Ferdinand Friedrich Wilhelm, who expanded the estate between 1868 and 1870 in the Historicist style. After the glassworks went bankrupt in 1932, the castle remained unused for nine years. In 1942, it was purchased by the couple Erna Horn and Dr. Julius Arndt, who established an experimental kitchen and a cultural center there. After Erna Horn's death in 1982, the estate was inherited by two of her employees, the cook and the secretary. In 2006, the "Förderkreis Schloß Buchenau" (Friends of Buchenau Castle) acquired the castle. Following a renovation, it is now used as a cultural center, which includes the "Garden Market with Wild Garlic Festival" at the end of May, the "Gourmet Market" on October 3rd, and an annual Advent market. The castle is a two-story, neo-Gothic style building with a gable roof, stepped gables, corner oriels, and a roof turret. To the west, there is a columned portico. The ensemble includes the former administrator's house, a two-story gable-roofed building with gable balconies, built in a country house style. An associated washhouse with an ice cellar was built around 1900; it is a single-story, two-wing building with a hipped roof and corner rustication. The palm house dates from around 1870 and is a building with a half-hipped roof and a glazed south side. The greenhouse was also built around 1870, a long, flat gable-roofed building with a glass roof. Furthermore, it includes a bowling alley, a long, flat gable-roofed building constructed with timber framing over quarry stone walls, as well as a bee house. On the property, there is a grotto built of quarry stone. The courtyard wall is also made of quarry stone. The estate is embedded in a park in the style of an English landscape garden, which was laid out around 1870. Source: Excerpts from www.wikipedia.de

Centuries ago, an important trade route led across the border between Bavaria and Bohemia. During the Cold War, this came to an end: The Iron Curtain sealed the border. Barbed wire, barriers, and border guards separated the two countries. Today, the border is open again, and the Ferdinandsthal crossing connects the Bavarian Forest with the Šumava National Park. You can easily cross the border here on foot, by bike, or on skis.
