    Hiking

    The romantic country castle (built in 1574, in its present form of 1713) in the French style lies on the edge of the Steigerwald in a more than 20,000 m² area with woods, meadows and orchards. Every year, in spring and autumn, the "Fascination Garden" event with exhibitors from all over Germany and neighboring countries takes place with a varied supporting program. The large castle meadow around the venerable, enchanted castle offers visitors a stylish, harmonious ambience for garden dreams and their implementation.

    The romantic country castle on the edge of the Steigerwald is located in an area of over 20,000 m2 with forest, meadows and orchards. The framework of Faszination Garten is the courtyard area around the venerable, enchanted castle in French style, the large castle meadow and the areas of the old garden center. All in all, a stylish, harmonious ambience for garden dreams and their implementation.

    The historic Weingartsgreuth Castle

    1368 First historically known naming of Weingartsgreuth

    1574 Georg Marschalk von Ebneth, Bishop of Bamberg councilor and bailiff, acquires the Weingartsgreuth manor and builds the first castle.

    1705 The castle in its current baroque form began on parts of the previous building. The builder is unknown. In professional circles, the castle is known as Franconia's "baroque dresser" because of its original shape.

    1726 By marriage, the palace and estate come into the possession of the barons of Seckendorff-Aberdar and are still lived in and managed by the family today.
