    Craheim Castle is one of the youngest castles in Bavaria and is located near Wetzhausen, a district of the market town of Stadtlauringen in the Lower Franconian district of Schweinfurt.

    The reason for the castle's construction
    The castle was built between 1908 and 1910. The reason for its construction was the marriage of the royal Prussian captain Crafft Freiherr Truchsess von und zu Wetzhausen to Clara Erhart, a daughter of the German-American Charles F. Erhart (December 27, 1857 Brooklyn - February 14, 1926 Wetzhausen) (in 1849 he founded the pharmaceutical company Pfizer with his cousin Karl Pfizer in Williamsburg in Brooklyn). The rich American found the old castle in the village of Wetzhausen too cold and unfashionable. Since she brought the necessary money into the marriage, the couple decided to build a new one about a kilometer outside the village. An exact replica of Solitude Castle was originally planned, but this plan was rejected by the then King of Württemberg, Wilhelm II. The new building is therefore only formally based on Solitude in its southern main façade, but was expanded to a four-wing complex.
