The current castle was build on the ruins of the former mediaeval fortress which was destroyed in 1552. Elector Johann Schweickard von Kronberg gave the order in 1604 to build a gorgeous castle of red and yellow sandstone.
In World War Two the castle was heavily damaged and it took almost twenty years to rebuilt. Now you can visit the castle.
Go through the castle cafe and enjoy a Mass (a litre of beer) in the beergarden. If you do not like beer try the excellent selection of regional wines.
