In Lichtenau not only the fortress is worth seeing, Lichtenau also has a beautiful town center

In 1246, the place was first mentioned in a document as de castro Lihtenowe in connection with a will in which the Hohenstaufen imperial bailiff, Rudolf von Dornberg, bequeathed Lichtenau Castle to his wife Kunigunde. The original feudal lord was the Bishopric of Würzburg. The fiefholders were the Lords of Dornberg. When they died out in 1288 without male descendants, their property passed to the Lords of Heideck by inheritance. From 1406 to 1806, Lichtenau was subject to the Imperial City of Nuremberg, which was part of the Franconian Imperial Circle from 1500. Four main teams belonged to the Lichtenau district: Sachsen, Immeldorf, Hergersbach and Rohr.[7] The pentagonal fortress dominates the old town center. It is strongly reminiscent of the Nuremberg Castle, of which it was an outpost. [Source: Wikipedia]
