Haig Castle, also known as Haiger Castle or Haig Manor, is located in the Haig district of Stockheim in the Upper Franconian district of Kronach. It is considered an art-historical gem of the region, as it has a direct connection to one of the most renowned Baroque architects. For a long time, the authorship of the castle's design remained unclear. It wasn't until the 1980s that a plan was discovered in the archives of Mitwitz Water Castle, definitively proving that Balthasar Neumann, the famous architect of the Würzburg Residence and the Basilica of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, was the creator of the design. The foundation stone was laid in 1731, and the building's completion is dated to around 1733. Johann Veit Freiherr von Würtzburg, an influential cathedral dean, commissioned the construction after the original manor house was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War.

The Heunischenburg near Kronach-Gehülz is an important Late Bronze Age fortification dating back to the 9th century BC. It is considered the oldest scientifically researched stone castle north of the Alps. Its mighty stone walls and complex gate system indicate Mediterranean influences. The Heunischenburg served to monitor an important trade route for copper and tin. Numerous weapons finds indicate fierce fighting, which led to the destruction of the castle around 800 BC. Today, the Heunischenburg is an archaeological monument, whose reconstructed wall sections and the gate system provide a vivid impression of early castle construction. Hiking trails lead to this historically significant site.

Haig Castle In the years 1323 and 1348, the Bishop of Bamberg had his rights and income recorded from place to place. Haig is recorded as a wasteland, as "desolatum". Since the Bishop of Bamberg wanted protection against the Thuringians, he enfeoffed the Lords of Schaumberg. The former castle in Haig was surrounded by a moat and connected to the mainland by a drawbridge. In 1631, a group from Kronach plundered the village and castle. The indebted property was bought in 1727 by cathedral dean Johann Veit von Würtzburg, who laid the foundation stone for the current castle in 1731. https://www.stockheim-online.de/gemeinde-und-verwaltung/gemeindeteile-mit-ortsgeschichte/haig/
