Open-air theater next to the castle tower

It looks rather run down and is beginning to decay. I am curious to see if any investment will be made.

The romantic stage at the castle tower in Bad Berneck is located at the foot of the old castle with its castle tower. Several passages (wicket gate, Gothic gate) and a large castle gate connect the stage area with the castle hill behind it. Various rock paths that lead to the castle kennel, which is about 25 meters above the stage, allow the castle ruins to be included in the game. The historicizing design of the complex, which was built at the beginning of the 20th century, meant that the stage system was at times incorrectly viewed in specialist literature as part of the castle's construction period.

This was probably a tower. The original entrance to the tower is also elevated on the west side of the tower. (Source: Wikipedia)

Very nicely prepared castle with a beautiful view of Bad Berneck.

The Nordeck castle ruins are picturesquely situated in the beautiful Steinachtal, very close to the "Waldschänke" inn and directly on the Frankenwald-Steigla "Zum Forstmeistersprung". Unfortunately, you no longer have a view from there, as everything has grown over.

You can see the free-standing front wall of the former pilgrimage church from the 15th century near Neufang. The Heilingskirche was consecrated to the "Three Marys" - Maria Jacobi (Cleophas), Maria Salome and Maria Magdalena. The three women witnessed the proclamation of Jesus Christ's resurrection on Easter morning. Should you take a look.

Climbing the tower was possible on special festivals and occasions. I was up there once during the castle festival.
