This castle also deserves attention.

In any case, it's a huge building. More defiant than beautiful.

Beautifully restored clinker building with sandstone elements.

The town is located in the oldest prehistoric settlement area in the Main Valley. In a very small area, there is continuous evidence of settlement, which stretches from the Paleolithic period through the Hallstatt period to the Carolingian period. The name of the town was already borne by the fortress built around the year 1000 on a hill, a "light rock", and destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1525. Duke Otto I of Andechs-Merania had his market town of Lichtenfels fortified in 1231, which can probably be interpreted as an indication that town rights had already been granted. A place on the Main and centrally located on old streets was deliberately chosen for the founding of Lichtenfels. The spacious market square, the center of the town, where all the alleys and paths converged, was and is well suited for weekly and annual markets.

The neo-Gothic Ketschendorf Castle is located in the Coburg district of Ketschendorf at the foot of the Buchberg. The Baroness von Stolzenau had it built in the middle of an extensive park at the beginning of the 19th century. The castle is one of the most perfect buildings in the neo-Gothic belt of Coburg and has had nine different owners. From 1956 onwards it was used as a youth hostel, which was closed on December 1, 2010. In 2013 the Coburg company Kaeser Kompressoren acquired the property and had it converted into a seminar and training center. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Ketschendorf

A beautiful place in the middle of the city. The concerts in the Coburg summer take place there in a special setting.

In 1543, Duke Johann Ernst of Saxony decided to move his court from the Veste Coburg down into the city and chose the site of the dissolved Franciscan monastery, along which the city wall ran to the east. The monastery was in the area of the former middle courtyard. Recent research attributes the architectural design to the Saxon architect Nikolaus Gromann.[1] The building shows clear stylistic parallels with the work of Gromann, who may also have been close to the building project in organizational terms as the appointed court architect of Johann Ernst's half-brother, Elector Johann Friedrich. The complex was built until around 1547 under the construction management of Caspar Vischer. A complex was created around two square courtyards, which could be entered from the south via Steingasse.[2] The buildings of the first courtyard with the stair tower, the corner bay window and the dormer windows from this period are still preserved.[3] Between the courtyards was the three-storey princely building, which was accessed via another large stair tower on the north side and had a large hall and a dining room. The palace chapel and other living quarters were located around the second courtyard on the east side, the kitchen on an irregular floor plan to the north and other subordinate rooms to the west. This complex can still be seen with various subordinate extensions on Bieler's floor plan from 1679. It is unclear whether the third courtyard with the stables had already begun in 1543. Only paid craftsmen were employed for the construction and not, as was usual at the time, serf laborers. This special feature is said to have been the reason for the visit of Emperor Charles V in 1547. Charles is said to have given the newly occupied complex the name Ehrenburg on this occasion. The new city palace was inhabited as the residence of a ruling duke until the death of Johann Ernst in 1553 and was then only used extensively.
