Greifenstein Castle is one of the most famous mountain castles in the Franconian Jura. It was first mentioned in 1172. The castle is medieval in its core, but its exterior was redesigned in 1683/93 according to plans by Leonard Dientzenhofer. It has been owned by the Counts Schenk von Stauffenberg since the end of the 17th century. It is worth visiting the Counts von Stauffenberg's extensive weapons and antler collection.
