Located directly in the old town center on a one-way street, but unfortunately closed

Overwhelming view of the castle perched on the rocky plateau

A beautifully decorated castle with an impressive round table.

1000-year-old castle, very beautiful location with a wonderful view of the town and countryside from the park-like garden of the upper castle. Palas with three fully furnished showrooms, vault with objects from the Thirty Years' War, militaria, etc., well house with household goods and tithe barn from 1580/81 with exhibitions on tithes, the more recent (the private owners since 1878) and the older history of the castle (since 2004: "Botho Count Palatine of Carinthia, Count of Pottenstein 1027 - 1104"). In addition, since the commemorative year 2007, the new large panel exhibition "Crown, Bread and Roses. 800 Years of Elisabeth of Thuringia (1207-2007)" has been permanently on display in Elisabeth's protective castle in Franconia. Pottenstein Castle was the only exhibition location for this show (32 panels) in Bavaria. The memorial room in the oldest part of the palace also commemorates the whereabouts of Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia in 1228. Owned by the Thuringian family Freiherr von Wintzingerode since 1918, it belonged to the diocese of Bamberg for almost 700 years until 1803. More about the first lord of the castle, the Aribonen Botho, who called himself Count of Pottenstein in 1070 and was a confidant of Emperor Henry IV.

The castle embodies Pottenstein's landmark and is well worth a visit.

The Hohe Warte with its weather vane was created in 2003 by many volunteers. Now, after 20 years, the red and white weather vane should be given some color again.

A great view over Pottenstein and the surrounding area reward the ascent.

At the Festival of Lights you have a great view of the whole fire.
