Seldeneck Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Seldeneck Castle was first mentioned in writing in 1265. In 1408, during Rothenburg's feud with the Burgrave of Nuremberg, it was destroyed like some other castles belonging to Rothenburg. However, it was later mentioned several times in writings.

Not far from the small town, the stream of the same name flows into the Tauber. A small parking lot serves as a starting point for tours into the famous cultural landscape of the Steinbach Valley.
