    Wiesenthau Castle is the only surviving Renaissance castle in Franconian Switzerland. A restaurant with beer garden and a hotel are housed in the old walls. In the Advent season, the castle courtyard forms a beautiful backdrop for a Christmas market.

      Mentioned for the first time in the 11th century, it is today the last surviving Renaissance castle in Franconian Switzerland and is used for gastronomic purposes.
