    The landmark of Waischenfeld belongs to the castle Waischenfeld next door. The tower is thirteen meters high and was built in the thirteenth century. Unfortunately, you can only look at it from the outside. The view from the top is still good. ;)

    Waischenfeld Castle was first mentioned in 1122.
    The symbol of the city, the "stone bag" stands west of the city on a rocky plateau. The round tower, about 13 meters high, stands on a limestone cliff and formed the northernmost part of Waischenfeld Castle, which has long ceased to exist. The castle and tower were probably built in the 13th century.
