The Baroque Steinenhausen Castle was once owned by the von Guttenberg family, who sold it in 1935. In 1987, the castle became the property of the Free State of Bavaria. Today, the Kulmbach branch of the Bavarian State Office for the Environment is located in the building. An avenue of fruit trees has been planted along the driveway to the castle. The gardens are used for measuring equipment and small-scale nature conservation projects.

A welcome refreshment on hot days.

The magnificent complex is characterized by the redesign that Margrave Georg Friedrich had carried out by the architect Caspar Vischer after the destruction in the Second Margrave War in 1557. The wings of the narrow castle, which had been founded by the Counts of Andechs before 1135, were transformed into an impressive four-wing complex and secured against the mountain side with enormous bastions. Today, the Plassenburg, high above Kulmbach, is a cultural center of the Upper Mainland. After the fortifications were destroyed at the behest of Napoleon in 1806, the castle served as a prison and workhouse until 1928 - then exhibition rooms, museums and display collections were set up.

In the "Schöner Hof" with its richly decorated arcades, the atmosphere of a German princely court of the Renaissance comes to life.

The Kulmbach local recreation area “Mainaue” (for insiders: Kieswäsch) is a real gem. The swimming lake has a beautiful and well-kept lawn. There are changing rooms and showers, a beach volleyball court and a kiosk. Furthermore: Only 2.5 km away is the cradle of the Main, where the white and red Main flow together.

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.

You can see the free-standing front wall of the former pilgrimage church from the 15th century near Neufang. The Heilingskirche was consecrated to the "Three Marys" - Maria Jacobi (Cleophas), Maria Salome and Maria Magdalena. The three women witnessed the proclamation of Jesus Christ's resurrection on Easter morning. Should you take a look.
