Tips
The original castle was probably built as a castle in the Middle Ages. During the Thirty Years' War, the entire system was badly affected by raids by the Kronachers. It was only under Johann Ludwig von Würtzburg, who had to move out of the Lower Castle (moated castle) because of an argument with his brothers, that the manor could be restored. It got its current form in the years around 1713.

The upper castle was built in the late Middle Ages and got its present appearance around 1713. The castle is surrounded by an extensive park. It is privately owned by the Kramer-Klett family and unfortunately cannot be viewed. From the outside you can catch a glimpse of the beautiful complex.

The castle has a soft pink facade, is that really the original color?
