Ruins of Neideck Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle ruins Neideck is one of the landmarks of Franconian Switzerland. She was at risk of falling for a long time and was unable to enter. Since 2008 it's different. Today you can even climb the main tower and enjoy the already great panorama from underneath. Information boards provide information about the history and archaeological background of the castle ruins.

Quite apart from that, this is just a nice place. There is a lot to discover, the view is great and in good weather it makes sense to take a little break and let the sun shine on your fur.

Ruins of Streitburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle ruin Streitburg or ruin Streitberg is the remnant of a high medieval Adelsburg over the village Streitberg at the mouth of the Franconian Switzerland. The exact time of the first development of this place is not known, but at the latest in the 12th century, it was built and used by people. Unfortunately, what was left of the often damaged and rebuilt castle in the 19th century was used as a quarry, so that hardly any of the ruins is left, which is why the battle castle today in the shadow of her big sister, the castle ruins Neideck on the other side Wiesenttal stands.

Admission is free, so it is worth the detour to Streitburg alone for the fantastic view over the Wiesenttal.

Trinity Church, Streitberg

Highlight • Religious Site

The parish church was rebuilt between 1753 and 1757. Interestingly, the previous church was not in Streitberg, but in Niederfellendorf, which was much older and more important in the Middle Ages, on the grounds of the cemetery.
"The church in Niederfellendorf was built in the time of Charlemagne; the mother church of the church in Niederfellendorf and Ebermannstadt, however, is the monastery in Pretzfeld, which was one of the Slavic churches and was under the jurisdiction of the monastery.
According to the report of Pastor Traumüller (1807-1814), the patron saint of the old church was Saint Michael, a claim that also seems to be supported by the church fair that still takes place on the Sunday before Michaelmas."
