An old town with a castle and half-timbered houses

Kransberg Castle was built in a spur position around 1200. The castle consisted of an outer bailey and a core bailey, separated by a ditch. Parts of the ring wall and a residential tower have been preserved, the only building in the core castle. During the restoration, decorative stones were attached to the residential tower, which appear random and jumbled up. The remains are quite sparse, but invite you to a short visit.

In the town of Tullau, mentioned in 1090, a rectangular residential tower complex with a ring wall was built in the second quarter of the 13th century - probably under Schenk Walther von Limpurg. On the ground floor there is a chapel in the Romanesque style with a cross-vaulted chancel and a barrel-vaulted single-bay nave. A second phase of construction probably took place under the Limpurgian feudal man Heinrich von Tullau, who was mentioned in 1290.[1] At that time, the north side of the old ring wall was demolished and a large courtyard was built with wing walls. Another two-storey tower was built in the north. Another conversion took place in 1581, during which the ring wall of the southern residential tower complex was built over. Two residential towers became a Renaissance building. In 1642, the sculptor Leonhard Kern (1588–1662) acquired Tullau Castle, where he lived from 1651 to 1661.[2] At that time, the city no longer regarded it as a castle, but as a civic property. Components of the property at that time were the so-called old and the new house, outbuildings, a fenced garden, a field and 11 days of meadows.[3] The so-called Tullau Fool, a clay figure that probably once belonged to a fountain, also dates from this period. It is now in the Hallisch-Franconian Museum, but could still be seen in the garden of the castle in the 19th century.[4] From 1768 to 1770 another conversion took place under Maria Sibylla Schaffnerin. The half-timbered upper floor of the north building was replaced and the two houses were connected by a wooden gallery on the east side of the inner courtyard. In 1858 a "Hofgut" in Tullau was offered for sale in Schwäbischer Merkur, which was also referred to as "Schlosshof" and "Schloss" in the description. At that time, the property belonged to the heirs of Hall's mayor Wibel.[5] In 1851 the farmer Michael Huber bought the castle. It is still owned by his family. (Source: wikipedia)
