    A well preserved and widely visible medieval castle. From autumn 2017, the state of Bavaria will carry out extensive remediation and security measures at Burg Veldenstein. The castle was sold in 1939 to the 'second man' in the Third Reich, Hermann Göring. This also had the castle constantly renovated and built in 1942 under the manor a bomb-proof bunker with its own electricity, air and water supply.

        Veldenstein Castle dates back to the 13th century and stands above the small town of Neuhaus in Central Franconia at an altitude of approx. 400 meters and can be seen from afar.
