    Wespenstein Castle

    ... the former seat of the Imperial Marshal of Pappenheim, has shaped the face of the town of Gräfenthal for centuries.
    The best way to get to know the story is during a tour of the castle from the lord of the castle, Dr. explain to Wolfgang Weir.
    Or go to the Georgstift Museum, which is open every Saturday and Sunday between 2:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. and see a model of the castle, old documents, old books and swords and much more about Gräfenthal's history.

    The castle was built in 1250 by the Counts of Orlamünde and is now partially in ruins. It now houses a restaurant with a guesthouse and beer garden.
