In the German-language castle literature, the term bergfried refers to the uninhabited main tower of a medieval castle, which has been widespread in Central Europe since the 12th century. If it is set up for permanent residential use, it is referred to as a residential tower.

The keep here allows some views of Rothenfels and the Main when you arrive at the top.

A castle in Bavaria, almost in the middle of Germany. Once a noble seat, later place of jurisdiction - and now for more than 100 years in the hands of dedicated people who care for the walls and preserve their spirit: hospitality, respectful cooperation, education and music. You will certainly find a place to feel good in a youth hostel or conference center!
