The Heinersreuth estate near Presseck, surrounding the former Wildenstein Castle, was a gift from the Bavarian King Maximilian I Joseph to his long-time finance minister, Maximilian Emanuel von Lerchenfeld, in 1823. Maximilian I thus honored his commitment to the adoption of a Bavarian constitution and his keeping of his promise that this would happen even before the German Empire had a constitution. In 1818, Bavaria became a constitutional monarchy with the new constitution, which limited the king's power through the Estates Assembly. It took another 53 years until Bismarck's Imperial Constitution for all of Germany was adopted. The Wildenstein Castle, today Heinersreuth Castle, is a two-story gabled building with a high basement; the upper floor is slated. It was built around 1500 by the Barons von Wildenstein. The tower was probably added at the end of the 17th century. In 1697, the property passed to Carl Friedrich Freiherr Voit von Rieneck zu Trun- und Traustadt, who was subsequently elevated to the rank of count before the fief was granted to Baron von Lerchenfeld in 1823. In 1827, von Lerchenfeld commissioned the famous Darmstadt architect and urban planner to build the "Ministerhaus" (also known as the "New Palace") on his noble estate, right in the middle of the extensive park next to the palace. The property remains in the possession of the von Lerchenfeld family, a member of the ancient Bavarian nobility whose roots can be traced back to 1070.

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.

Very nice

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 :-)

Schaustein is one of the oldest settlements in northern Franconia. Various old documents show that the area aroundSchauenstein had been a demarcated territory since 1017. The first documented mention shows a senior bailiff at the castle ofSchauenstein in 1230.
