The Baroque Steinenhausen Castle was once owned by the von Guttenberg family, who sold it in 1935. In 1987, the castle became the property of the Free State of Bavaria. Today, the Kulmbach branch of the Bavarian State Office for the Environment is located in the building. An avenue of fruit trees has been planted along the driveway to the castle. The gardens are used for measuring equipment and small-scale nature conservation projects.

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

There is a warning about dogs running loose 😭

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.

The four corners of the castle are aligned exactly in the four cardinal directions, otherwise the building is rather irregularly designed from several structures of different sizes and heights. The four main wings enclose a narrow atrium. The maiden building and the Catholic chapel on the ground floor of the former tower are slightly exposed. Inside, architectural styles from all building periods have been preserved. The cellar vaults in the basement are of medieval origin, the other floors have Gothic, lavishly profiled wooden ceilings and walls, such as in the large hall in the northeast wing and in the keep. On the first floor of the west wing there are rooms designed in the Renaissance style, such as the large entrance hall with twisted columns. Numerous rooms with baroque stucco ceilings have been preserved from the last construction phase. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Str%C3%B6ssendorf/
