Weißenstein Castle, also known as Pommersfelden Castle, was built between 1711 and 1718 as a private summer residence under Lothar Franz von Schönborn, the Prince-Bishop of Bamberg and Elector of Mainz in Pommersfelden near Bamberg. It is considered the founding building of the Franconian baroque and is still owned by the Schönborn family. Weißenstein Castle is also an officially named district of Pommersfelden.

He had inherited a moated castle, but this was not representative enough for Lothar Franz Graf von Schönborn. So he had a magnificent summer residence built for him by the famous master builder Johann Dientzenhofer – Schloss Weissenstein near Pommersfelden. It took seven years to build and fit out the interior of the baroque castle with its huge, magnificent staircase, the marble hall and the Sala Terrena, a hall whose elaborate decorations made of tuff and shells make it look like a grotto.

What pomp! Weissenstein Castle is a magnificent example of Franconian Baroque. It is absolutely worth seeing from the outside as well as from the inside and the garden is also a feast for the eyes. In 1996 the castle was bought by Dr. Karl Graf von Schönborn-Wiesentheid in a charitable foundation. Guided tours are offered all year round, you can find more information at schoenborn.de/schloss-weissenstein.
