High up on the steep cliffs of Franconian Switzerland, the little church nestles against the proud castle. A long staircase leads up from the valley.
However, it is currently being renovated.

The steps to the castle are well worth it, beautiful views, well-tended gardens and cottages.

Church next to Egloffstein Castle

The church stands above the terraced place within the Egloffstein castle complex on a rocky outcrop of the Rabenstein (443 m) protruding to the east, about a hundred meters above the Trubach valley on its western slope. The church is only separated from the southern front of the castle by a narrow lane. Stone stairs, the castle path, lead to the church (and to the castle).

In 1750, the brothers Albrecht Christoph Karl and Ludwig I von Egloffstein had the current parish church of St. Bartholomew built instead of the lower bower with the old castle chapel to the plans of the Ansbach court architect Steingruber.
The church is externally a typical. Simple Protestant Baroque building, but inside is unusually magnificent designed.

It is worth taking a look inside the church.
It was only when a resident came and went inside that I followed her and went inside.
