Rieneck Castle is a hilltop castle built around 1150 above the town of Rieneck in the Sinntal valley of Lower Franconia, Bavaria. Today, it serves as the youth castle of the Association of Christian Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts.

The Scherenburg Castle ruins, also known as Scherenberg Castle, are the ruins of a hilltop castle (Hangburg) at 200 m above sea level on a slope above the town center of Gemünden am Main in the Lower Franconian Main-Spessart district of Bavaria. The castle was probably built before 1243 by the Counts of Rieneck, who owned the land there, as a toll castle to secure their toll revenues when crossing the Main River and the border with Würzburg. This led to disputes with the Würzburg bishop, Hermann I of Lobdeburg, who had the Slorburg Castle built nearby to demonstrate his power there as well. The disputes were settled by a settlement in 1243. In 1469, the castle finally came into the possession of Würzburg and was named after Prince-Bishop Rudolf II of Scherenberg. It served as an official cellar until 1598 and was inhabited until the 18th century. A wedding ceremony took place in the castle chapel as recently as 1732. In the second half of the 18th century, the castle complex, which had been privately owned since 1825 and has been the property of the town of Gemünden since 1965, began to decline. Since the 1990s, the Scherenburg Festival (open-air theater) has been held in the courtyard of the castle ruins every summer. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgruine_Scherenburg

Karlstadt is the district seat of the Lower Franconian district of Main-Spessart and is located approximately 30 kilometers north of Würzburg in the Main Franconian wine-growing region. The first mention of Karlburg in 742 is directly related to the founding of the Diocese of Würzburg. Around 1202, the settlement of Karlstadt, located near Karlburg, was founded by Bishop Konrad von Querfurt. The exact founding date is unknown. The earliest evidence of the town seal dates back to 1277. Source: Wikipedia
