The Hohenstaufen Henneburg was built around the year 1127. From the viewing platforms of the two towers you have a great view of the Main Valley, Stadtprozelten and the heights of the Odenwald.

Access to Henneburg is at the northeast corner of the facility, which can be visited all year round. In the summer months, the viewing platforms of both keep are freely accessible. They allow a view of the Main Valley and Stadtprozelten, the heights of the Odenwald and the Mondfeld district of Wertheim in Baden-Württemberg.
The castle tavern housed in the upper castle offered space for about 80 guests, after a lease contract this restaurant has been closed since the end of March 2016. Knight games also take place irregularly at Henneburg.

Tour leads along the Main (bike path). In the summer pleasant as there are refreshments. The view from the ruin is very nice.

Despite the fact that the interior area is still closed at the moment, it is worth a visit as the view of the Main Valley is simply magnificent.

Wonderful view on the descent and not too steep on the climb.

Update:

The closure has been lifted, the towers can be accessed again, and catering will take place again soon.

Stadtprozelten is at the foot of the castle, Mondfeld is to the left of Mainig, both villages are only connected by a ferry.

Very nice especially with a great view. 😊 It's a pity that the restoration work takes so long. For 3 years now when I go there is always something set up.🙈 Still highly recommended.

The Henneburg in Stadtprozelten is always worthwhile, especially when the weather is nice. From up here there is a magnificent view of Mondfeld to Faulbach and as far as Boxtal.

The Henneburg, which is now a ruin, was built as “Burg Prozelten” by the Clingenburg taverns. The mighty berfried (12th century) is the oldest part, the eastern palace dates from the middle of the 13th century.
Together with the city and the surrounding area, it was sold to the Counts of Hanau-Wertheim in 1275. It later came to the Teutonic Order and in 1483 to the Archbishopric of Mainz. The castle was expanded into a fortress by the Teutonic Order, who had the western palace, the small keep, the curtain wall with its towers and the underground battlements built in the 14th and 15th centuries. It got its current name, Henneburg, from one of its commanders.
Today the Henneburg is one of the most beautiful castle ruins in Germany. We have King Ludwig I of Bavaria to thank for the fact that the complex is relatively well preserved today. Because he had security work carried out on the castle in the 19th century.
The access to Henneburg is directly in Stadtprozelten. There are some parking spaces at the castle itself. You should allow yourself a little more time for a visit, as there is a lot to discover. Two towers can be climbed and offer brilliant views of the surrounding area.

If the weather plays along, there is a wonderful view of the Main Valley... but the ruins are also definitely worth a visit

Driving past it umpteen times - now after the business trip I finally took the time to walk to the castle!
The area is currently a large construction site - everything is set up and cordoned off. I wonder what will be made of it ...

Unfortunately, the castle is still closed due to restoration work. You can only go outside. Access to the castle tavern and the toilets is possible. Both were closed (due to the corona?).
