    Lichtenberg Castle was once considered one of the most magnificent Renaissance castles in Franconia. Built in the twelfth century by the Dukes of Merania, it had to withstand numerous enemy attacks, was destroyed several times and repeatedly rebuilt larger and larger. In 1634, in the middle of the Thirty Years War, the castle was burned down by imperial troops. Since then the castle has lived on as a ruin. On the last weekend of the Bavarian summer vacation, the Lichtenberg Castle Festival, one of the most popular medieval festivals in the Bavarian region, takes place here.
