    The castle Eschenbach is a former moated castle and is now a listed building. Since the 15th century, the building is owned by the Ebner family and is still largely preserved in its original state. Unfortunately, you can only view the picturesque castle from the outside, as a visit is not offered.

      Eschenbach Castle is a listed building in Eschenbach. The castle was built as a moated castle in 1230. In the 13th century, the area was owned by the Reichsministeriale von Hartenstein and Neidstein, who was related to them. After these families died out, Eschenbach came under the sovereignty of the Reicheneck taverns in 1324. In 1552 the building, like almost all of the fortifications in the Nuremberg area, was completely destroyed during the second marrow war. It was rebuilt in 1554 and the castle has been preserved almost unchanged since then. The castle is privately owned and cannot be visited.
