The path along the cliffs leading to the castle is absolutely breathtaking. A very beautiful castle, and romantically lit in winter.

Located directly in the old town center on a one-way street, but unfortunately closed

The former castle well dates back to around 1200. It was located in the Zwinger area of the outer bailey. It carried water until 1951, after which it dried up. It is 50 meters deep, 40 meters of which are carved into bare rock.

From 1891 to 1952, water was pumped into this well from the water house in the Kainachtal valley. Residents then collected the water in barrels.

The castle is located on a narrow dolomite cliff at an elevation of approximately 500 meters. It is open to visitors from April to October. Since 1745, the castle has been part of the Sanspareil Rock Garden, created by Wilhelmine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth.

A beautifully decorated castle with an impressive round table.

One of the oldest castles in Franconian Switzerland. The exact year of construction is uncertain as there are no detailed written reports or investigations. Count Gozwin expanded Gößweinstein Castle into a fortress before 1062. In a written message from Bamberg Cathedral Dean Poppo to Bishop Gunther from 1062 it says “his stone (=fortress) was built with the greatest effort”. During this time, Counts Gozwin and Hermann von Habsberg fought a devastating feud.
