Werneck Castle Werneck Castle is a former residence of the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg in the Bavarian market town of Werneck. The Baroque three-winged complex was built between 1731 and 1747 on the orders of Friedrich Karl von Schönborn, based on a design by Balthasar Neumann. During the conversion of the castle into a hospital starting in 1853, all interior rooms except the castle church were destroyed. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Werneck

The Werneck area is rich in archaeological monuments! For decades, Neolithic and La Tène period finds have been coming to light on the loess-covered lower terrace between Werneck and Zeuzleben. Only systematic inspection and reporting of finds by volunteer archaeologists has made it possible to protect the monuments. Nevertheless, construction projects in recent years have repeatedly required archaeological rescue excavations. Of greatest cultural and historical importance is an early La Tène period flat burial ground, only sections of which were examined during road construction in 2005. The costume components from the La Tène B stage (3rd/4th century BC) recovered there include thickened bracelets, the characteristic wire-shaped brooches, but also some coral-decorated needles, which show clear references to the Thuringian region.
