Hof and Chamber Estate

Below Schloss Osterstein, Count Heinrich XVIII Reuß-Gera commissioned a large estate in 1728. Known as the Kammergut or Hofgut, it supplied and administered the princely household.

The complex joined an administrative residence with a washhouse, barns, storage buildings and coach houses. The old estate buildings still reveal their working purpose in their sturdy forms and courtyards. Look back uphill to see how closely the estate and the former residence were connected.
