    Pfaffendorf Castle is a simple, three-winged baroque building in the center of the Maroldsweisach district of Pfaffendorf in the Haßberge district in Lower Franconia. The former noble residence has housed a boarding school for the Salesians of Don Bosco since 1954.

    Always a beautiful sight. A beautifully preserved castle that now serves as a youth welfare center.

    After the Second World War, the Salesians of Don Bosco built a school and boarding school there (Pfaffendorf Youth Welfare Center), which is specifically dedicated to supporting children and young people with learning disabilities and those who are “difficult to educate.”
