The hilltop castle of Uprode was built around 1320 by the Knights of Sparneck to secure their ancestral lands. The Swabian League destroyed it on July 11, 1523. With the destruction of their castles, the people of Sparneck also lost influence in their ancestral territory. The castle has been a ruin ever since. Remains of walls, foundations, and moats are visible in the forest. Scattered pieces of the demolished tower are also still clearly visible. There has been no safeguarding of its existence to date, so the ruins continue to deteriorate.

You have to enjoy this view.

Very nice

Right next to the Waldsteinhaus rises a mighty rock face containing the remains of the surrounding walls of the former main castle, the "Red Castle." Stone steps through the castle gate lead to the inner courtyard, which formerly housed various buildings (a gatehouse, a residential tower, and a cistern). The castle was built in the 14th century by the Lords of Sparneck; it was destroyed by the Swabian League in midsummer 1523. In the summer of 2024, the "Red Castle" was renovated and is now open to visitors again.

From the castle you have a beautiful view of the town. The surrounding area can also be seen through the trees

Beautiful place with lots of old but unfortunately somewhat neglected corners.

Former moated castle with an interesting history, rebuilt as a moated castle after being destroyed. Private property, cannot be visited, can only be seen from the street.

You can get married here: the town's registry office is located in the romantic tower room of the castle :-)
