In any case, it's a huge building. More defiant than beautiful.

Water castle in Mitwitz. Well-kept outdoor areas and many events characterize this place.

The town is located in the oldest prehistoric settlement area in the Main Valley. In a very small area, there is continuous evidence of settlement, which stretches from the Paleolithic period through the Hallstatt period to the Carolingian period. The name of the town was already borne by the fortress built around the year 1000 on a hill, a "light rock", and destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1525. Duke Otto I of Andechs-Merania had his market town of Lichtenfels fortified in 1231, which can probably be interpreted as an indication that town rights had already been granted. A place on the Main and centrally located on old streets was deliberately chosen for the founding of Lichtenfels. The spacious market square, the center of the town, where all the alleys and paths converged, was and is well suited for weekly and annual markets.

In 1543, Duke Johann Ernst of Saxony decided to move his court from the Veste Coburg down into the city and chose the site of the dissolved Franciscan monastery, along which the city wall ran to the east. The monastery was in the area of the former middle courtyard. Recent research attributes the architectural design to the Saxon architect Nikolaus Gromann.[1] The building shows clear stylistic parallels with the work of Gromann, who may also have been close to the building project in organizational terms as the appointed court architect of Johann Ernst's half-brother, Elector Johann Friedrich. The complex was built until around 1547 under the construction management of Caspar Vischer. A complex was created around two square courtyards, which could be entered from the south via Steingasse.[2] The buildings of the first courtyard with the stair tower, the corner bay window and the dormer windows from this period are still preserved.[3] Between the courtyards was the three-storey princely building, which was accessed via another large stair tower on the north side and had a large hall and a dining room. The palace chapel and other living quarters were located around the second courtyard on the east side, the kitchen on an irregular floor plan to the north and other subordinate rooms to the west. This complex can still be seen with various subordinate extensions on Bieler's floor plan from 1679. It is unclear whether the third courtyard with the stables had already begun in 1543. Only paid craftsmen were employed for the construction and not, as was usual at the time, serf laborers. This special feature is said to have been the reason for the visit of Emperor Charles V in 1547. Charles is said to have given the newly occupied complex the name Ehrenburg on this occasion. The new city palace was inhabited as the residence of a ruling duke until the death of Johann Ernst in 1553 and was then only used extensively.

A really beautiful building.

It was never conquered, never subdued: Rosenberg Fortress is one of the most beautiful and largest fortresses in Europe. The former Bamberg bishop's castle and later state fortress rises steeply above the old town of Kronach on the Rosenberg hill. The oldest surviving document mentioning the name "Rosenberg" dates from 1249. The various construction phases are clearly visible, from the medieval keep through the walls and towers of the 15th and 16th centuries to the late Baroque pentagon, illustrating the ever-changing demands of defensive construction throughout the centuries. The juxtaposition of medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque fortification architecture gives the complex its significant place in the history of German military construction. The renowned architects Maximilian von Welsch and Balthasar Neumann were involved in the expansion of the fortress. The fortress was never captured or defeated by enemies. In 1888, the city acquired the castle as a property without military significance. The underground tunnel system, which can be visited as part of the fortress tours, is also of particular interest.

The early baroque fortress gate, one of the most beautiful in Germany, was probably built by Antonio Petrini.

This small monument is under monument protection. The Marter, created in the 18th century, was originally located around 50 meters to the south-east at the upper end of Festungsstrasse; it was moved to its current location in 1936 on the occasion of the erection of the war memorial for the fallen of the First World War. The column, made of sandstone, was rotated 90 degrees so that the main side, which once looked south towards the city, now faces west. Philipp Ernst von Redwitz, named in the inscription on the base, was commander of Rosenberg Fortress from 1774 to 1787. He probably had the wayside shrine erected at the original location of the monument as a replacement for an earlier torture.
