ローテンブッハーフォーストの洞窟・トップ14

Rothenbuch is one of the oldest and most important towns in the Inner Spessart region. The first documented mention of "zuo den Rodenboychen" dates back to 1318, when the Archbishop of Mainz, Peter von Aspelt, and the Bishop of Würzburg, Gottfried III von Hohenlohe, concluded a security cooperation agreement here. In 1342, construction began on a castle in Rothenbuch, at the source of the Hafenlohr River. The first inhabitants were likely settled there as hunting lodgers. During the Peasants' War of 1525, the castle was severely damaged or destroyed. In 1566, the castle was rebuilt and expanded on the orders of Daniel Brendel von Homburg, Elector of Mainz. The first depiction of Rothenbuch can be found on one of the oldest existing Spessart maps, the so-called Pfinzig map from 1594. Source: Wikipedia

A beautiful castle

First a courthouse, then a monastery and children's home, and now a hotel: Rothenbuch Castle has a very eventful history. If you don't want to stay overnight, you can eat in the restaurant from Monday to Saturday between 2 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. More information at http://www.gast-im-schloss.com.

Great little castle which you can discover on the way through on the A3 near the Rohrbrunn rest area on the edge of the forest

Every kid knows this group

Rothenbuch Castle was built in 1567 by Daniel Brendel von Homburg and was the administrative center of the Electors of Mainz. From 1882 to 1986 it served as an orphanage, run by the Maria Stern Sisters. In 1995 it was converted into a castle hotel. Source: Information board on the building

It's always nice. Unfortunately, don't come that often to get to know it better.

Luitpoldshöhe Castle was built in 1889 by Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria as a hunting lodge in the Spessart near Rohrbrunn. The castle is in the district of Aschaffenburg in an area that belongs to the municipality of Weibersbrunn, but forms an exclave in the unincorporated area in the Rohrbrunn Forest. The Spessart motorway service station on the A3 is in the immediate vicinity, and the castle can be seen from the motorway. Not far from the castle in the forest is the Dianalust hunting lodge. The castle was designed by the royal chief building officer Max von Siebert, who conceived it as a Franconian half-timbered house. The master builder was Karl Buchner from Würzburg, who employed only craftsmen and artists from Würzburg. On the one hand, this resulted in a building that was based on the local Franconian style, but on the other hand it can also be recognized as a representative building.
