Strößendorf Castle

Highlight • Castle

Strössendorf Castle is a castle in the Altenkunstadt district of Strössendorf. It is inhabited all year round, owned by the von Seckendorff family and cannot be visited. The castle is listed as a protected monument by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation under the monument number D-4-78-111-81.[1] Due to archaeological findings in the area of the castle, which are related to the medieval core of the building, the complex as a whole also represents an archaeological monument with the number D-4-5833-0151.[1] To the southwest, the castle building ensemble is adjoined by the castle church of St. Katharina and the castle park with former stables.

Rudufersee

Highlight • Lake

The Rudufer bathing lake offers a (small) sandy beach and a non-swimmer area with a flat shore. Sun loungers and pedal boats can be rented from a rental shop. When the weather is nice, a kiosk with a terrace café is open from 1 p.m. There are also sanitary facilities.

Swimming and the bathing beach are free, but there is a small fee for parking (3 euros per day, 1 euro for two hours)

Tents and camping are also permitted at the Rudufersee. However, this must be applied for at the local authority. Tents are only permitted at the designated fire pits, and mobile homes may only be parked in the car park.

Lichtenfels Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The old town of Lichtenfels has retained its typical Franconian character to this day. In the 14th century, the town was surrounded by a ring wall with three gate towers: the Bamberg Gate, the Kronach Gate (both are still preserved today) and the Coburg Gate. Parts of the old city wall are still visible today. Of the five defensive towers, the "Red Tower" is still standing.
The heart of the town is the historic baroque town hall on the market square. It was built in 1742 according to plans by Justus Heinrich Dientzenhofer.
The town palace towers over the roofs of the old town. After an eventful history, it is now the cultural center of the German basket town with concerts, lectures and art exhibitions. The ballroom can be rented for representative events of all kinds - from classical concerts to wedding celebrations.
