The gate at the back is unlocked but very difficult to open. Relevant if you approach from the back via the stone stairs; alternatively, you can climb over the wall.

There is ice from 12°° Tuesday is a rest day, so you should force the disc brakes to stop.

Originally a fortified moated castle, of which the surrounding walls and a tower from 1574 still exist. The castle that now stands was given a baroque makeover from 1709, of which parts of the old complex are still preserved in the north wing. The south wing was built from 1719. As the former property of the Imperial Baron von Seckendorff, Weingartsgreuth Castle has been owned by the heir, Baron von Seckendorff-von Witzleben, since 1962. https://wachenroth.de/ortsteile/weingartsgreuth/
