    The castle ruins are located on a 452 meter high hill. From here you have a great view of the Haßberge and in good weather the view even extends as far as Bamberg.

      After the successful restoration of the castle grounds, you can now find a lot of interesting information about Liechtenstein Castle on detailed information boards.

        The castle, which stands 150 metres above the Weisach valley, is a symbol of past power that can be seen from afar. It was first mentioned in a document in 1126. For centuries, the castle was the ancestral seat of the Lords of Stein, in 1895 it passed to the Barons of Rotenhan and finally in 1972 to the Haßberge district. The mighty double-tower gate and the picturesque remains of the late Gothic chapel are noteworthy. From the complex, you have a wonderful panoramic view of the Haßberge mountains.
