A visit to the castle ruins as a landmark of Franconian Switzerland is a MUST.

The scenic location above the loop of the Wiesenttal, the conversion of the old tower ruins into an observation tower, complete archaeological investigation with first-class documentation and the securing of the building remains are exemplary.

The Neideck ruin greets the Wiesenttal from an exposed rock spur. The remains of the outer and inner outer bailey and the main castle with its residential tower show the boldness and art of medieval fortifications. The mighty facility was first documented in 1219 and was the headquarters of the extended Jurassic Territory of the Schlüsselberger. The castle has been a ruin since its destruction in the Second Margrave War (1553).

The castle ruins Neideck is a former high medieval Adelsburg over the village Streitberg, a community part of Wiesenttal in the Upper Franconian district Forchheim in Bavaria. Due to its exposed location high above the valley of the Wiesent she has become a landmark of the Franconian Switzerland.

The castle ruins are freely accessible, the residential tower serves as a lookout point.
