In terms of location, Lichtenau is the "Nuremberg thorn in the side of the Margraves." Yes, the Margraves of Ansbach didn't like that 😜! A knight's tournament takes place here every year.... https://www.mittelalterfest.net/index.php?id=228&L=0

Absolutely worth seeing facility with castle and associated landscape park. Admission is currently €15 and contributes to the maintenance of the facility. The castle park was laid out by the "green" Baron Süsskind, who did almost all the planting here himself.

Beautiful old fortress used as a state archive. As far as I know, visits are not possible.

Keep and moat - seems to have sprung from a fairy tale.

Construction of the moated castle by Ludwig von Eyb (III) in the late 14th century. Very well preserved piece of jewelry 🏰

Imposing fortress of the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg against the Margraves of Ansbach. Mighty ramparts with corner towers at all five corners. A branch of the Bavarian State Archives is located in the palace building. Visiting the interesting outside area of the fortress is possible at any time. Visiting times from April to October.

Nice moated castle. If you are around you should take a look.

The castle has been owned by the von Crailsheim family for 471 years (as of 2021). As good Christians, the deceased lords and ladies of the castle as well as some guests received their final resting place in their own crypt. On their search for the spy, the French found, among others, the Swedish Colonel Ritter von Holz, a relative of the Crailsheims, who had rested in full uniform in a heavy oak coffin since the Thirty Years' War. Looters stole his uniform skirt soon after the coffin was closed. Today he only wears his heavy leather riding boots. When looking at the mummy of Sophie Luise von Kniestätt (deceased 1690), even hardened soldiers may have lost their appetite for a short time. For decades it has been puzzled as to whether Frau von Kniestätt was really dead when she was put in the coffin. Or whether she woke up in the container, but was not heard by anyone in the crypt and died miserably in the dark. Next to her was a child mummy without a head. Really scary. The Knight of Wood's feet are still in his heavy riding boots. The good state of preservation of the mummies also gave rise to all sorts of hypotheses (natural radioactivity, a curse?) At least the explanation for the mummification is simple. The crypt is not in some damp and musty cellar, but in a former battlement of the castle, which was used as a burial place in the 17th century. There is constant air circulation so that the dead dry out quickly. Two of the Sommersdorfer mummies are currently traveling through the USA in the exhibition "Mummies of the World": (as of August 2021).
