トレプガストの洞窟・トップ20

The magnificent complex is characterized by the redesign that Margrave Georg Friedrich had carried out by the architect Caspar Vischer after the destruction in the Second Margrave War in 1557. The wings of the narrow castle, which had been founded by the Counts of Andechs before 1135, were transformed into an impressive four-wing complex and secured against the mountain side with enormous bastions. Today, the Plassenburg, high above Kulmbach, is a cultural center of the Upper Mainland. After the fortifications were destroyed at the behest of Napoleon in 1806, the castle served as a prison and workhouse until 1928 - then exhibition rooms, museums and display collections were set up.

In the "Schöner Hof" with its richly decorated arcades, the atmosphere of a German princely court of the Renaissance comes to life.

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.

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.

The church ruins from the 15th century, which stand on a hill near Neufang, are very impressive.

Together with the old castle, the castle is the scene of a medieval spectacle every year. The tower of the old castle is now and then open to the public for festivities. Theater is also performed there.
