    The beautiful castle is family owned and can not be visited.

      The castle appears in 1425 in the possession of Hans von Lochheim, who allowed King Sigismund to rebuild the old castle and provide it with a moat and kennel. In 1502, the imperial city of Nuremberg acquired the palace and its belongings from the margraves. It served as an official palace until 1561 and was destroyed in the second Margrave War. It was rebuilt by the Pfinzing family as an open house for the city of Nuremberg. The current layout of the castle dates back to this time.
      The castle has been owned by the Petz family since 1876, who transferred it to their family foundation.
