Very beautiful castle complex

Craheim is the youngest castle in Bavaria, built between 1908 and 1910. More information at: https://www.himmlische-herbergen.de/unterkunft/begegnungsstaette-schloss-craheim

Werneck Castle Werneck Castle is a former residence of the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg in the Bavarian market town of Werneck. The Baroque three-winged complex was built between 1731 and 1747 on the orders of Friedrich Karl von Schönborn, based on a design by Balthasar Neumann. During the conversion of the castle into a hospital starting in 1853, all interior rooms except the castle church were destroyed. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Werneck

The Barons of Münster owned the estate in Vasbühl until 1740. Gustav Erhard von Münster built the castle in Vasbühl, which still stands today, in 1677. Above the castle portal, the Münster-Rotenhan coat of arms commemorates the builder. The gable end of the Baroque building is almost identical to the tithe barn on the Roßmarkt in Schweinfurt (now the Kreissparkasse). The castle is already heavily dilapidated and is still used as an agricultural property. Church of St. James the Elder During demolition work in 1930, a stone bearing the date 1411 was found in the high altar. This suggests that a type of cemetery chapel already stood on the site of the present church around 1400. The construction of the Julius Tower with its pointed spire and the three eastern bays of the nave of the Vasbühl church is dated 1580. The tower is one of many Echter towers built in Franconia by the Würzburg Prince-Bishop, Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn. In 1686, the church was expanded under Prince-Bishop Johann Gottfried von Guttenberg, and the pointed-arch portals were reused. Since Schleerieth, Vasbühl, Eckartshausen, and Egenhausen belonged to the Schleerieth chaplaincy, there was dissatisfaction with the church service times. The offer to summon a monastic chaplain to Vasbühl was rejected, as the nearest monastery was five to six hours away. The people of Vasbühl knew how to cope and took in two priests exiled from France. The "French gentlemen," as the people of Vasbühl called their temporary priests, lived in Vasbühl and were supported by the locals through alms and food. In return, they held services, including sermons and Christian teachings on Sundays, as best they could. With true French vigor, they are said to have pounded on the pulpit to emphasize their words when their dear pastors sometimes couldn't or didn't want to understand them. The two deceased French priests were buried on the north side of the church tower, where embedded stone gravestones are located. In 1808, a Rococo high altar was purchased, after which the cross vault near the choir was removed and a new choir arch was built. The life-size figures on the high altar, St. Agnes and St. Barbara, are attributed to the workshop of Peter Wagner.

At just under 20 meters, the Zabelstein observation tower isn't all that tall, but its gratings in the floor and on the balustrade create a somehow incredibly airy feeling. The view is fantastic. Even if you can't see the Main River itself, you still have a wonderful view of the Main Valley. On a clear day, the Thuringian Forest, the Gramschatz Forest, and Franconian Switzerland can be seen on the horizon. The tower is the great-grandchild of the first observation tower on Zabelstein. The first tower (1956-1978) resembled a 15-meter-high hunter's lodge. The second (1978-1999) and third towers (1999-2019) were also made of wood. The new tower, erected in 2020, is the aforementioned grating structure, framed by wooden struts that widen outwards.
