Schloss Ramholz
Ramholz, ein Ortsteil von Schlüchtern, liegt im oberen Kinzigtal, zwischen den Ausläufern des Vogelsberges, der Rhön und des Spessarts. Hier wurde auf der Steckeburg anno 1488 der Humanist Ulrich von Hutten geboren.
1883 erwarb der Industrielle Hugo von Stumm das 1501 errichtete Huttenschloss mit der Steckelburg. 1893 ließ er Schloss Ramholz an das alte Schloss anbauen. Die optische Verbindung zwischen Neubau und Huttenschloss ist das sogenannte "Englische Höfchen". Beachtenswert ist die Vielfalt der am Neubau verwendeten Architekturformen und Stile. Das Schloss ist für die Öffentlichkeit nicht zugänglich.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
