Today, at the foot of the castle hill, on the banks of the Saale River, some foundation remnants and a vault driven into the riverbank remain. The A72 motorway runs along the top of the castle hill. The castle remains consist of a few stone walls behind a still clearly visible moat. The site is privately owned and enclosed by a closed gate. The owner operates a restaurant there and has integrated the remaining castle walls into a fantasy-style garden. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgstall_Saalenstein

Zedtwitz Castle is first documented as a castle in 1502. At that time, the Lords of Zedtwitz sold the building to the Lords of Feilitzsch. During the Thirty Years' War, Swedish troops were quartered in Zedtwitz Castle, which led to Croatian troops plundering the building a few years later. For financial reasons, the castle had to be sold. However, it wasn't until 1718 that construction work resumed, giving the building its Baroque appearance. During the Second World War, the owners of Zedtwitz Castle were expelled. After various uses, it was eventually converted into a nursing home, which still exists today. https://burgen-und-schloesser.de/deutschland/bayern/zedtwitz/schloss-zedtwitz/

The Zedtwitz Castle site, also known as Zedtwitz Water Castle, refers to a vanished medieval moated castle in the center of Zedtwitz. From the 13th to the 16th centuries, the castle was the ancestral seat of the von Zedtwitz family. The last remnants of the castle walls were demolished in 1839. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgstall_Zedtwitz Two bridges lead to the small island with rest areas.

The memorial stands in the village square in the center of town, opposite Zedtwitz Castle. Inscriptions: IN MEMORY OF OUR DEAD AND MISSING OF THE TWO WORLD WARS 1914 - 1918 AND 1939 - 1945 MUNICIPALITY OF ZEDTWITZ http://www.denkmalprojekt.org/2013/zedtwitz_gem-feilitzsch_lk-hof_wk1_wk2_bay.html

The former Zedtwitz Castle was the ancestral home of the "von Zedtwitz family." Today, it houses a nursing home.

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.

We would have expected anything here but not such a beautiful property... 😀

The avenue leads from Schönwald Cemetery directly to Sophienreuth Castle.
