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.

It's worth driving past

It's useful sometimes, even if it's just to greet passing cyclists, dogs, and runners while squatting...

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.

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.

The Nordeck castle ruins are picturesquely situated in the beautiful Steinachtal, very close to the "Waldschänke" inn and directly on the Frankenwald-Steigla "Zum Forstmeistersprung". Unfortunately, you no longer have a view from there, as everything has grown over.
