Speckfeld Castle — Tower Ruin

Highlight • Castle

To the northeast of Markteinersheim, Speckfeld Castle was built around 1200 by the Counts of Speckfeld on the old Nuremberg-Würzburg-Frankfurt Reichsstrasse (today's B 8). It was first mentioned in a document in 1226.
In 1412 Elisabeth von Hohenlohe gave the castle to the Limpurg taverns. Destroyed and plundered several times (in 1525 in the Peasants 'War and by the Swedes during the 30 Years' War in 1618/48), the castle was abandoned in 1693. The Limpurg taverns move into their new castle in Einersheim.
At the beginning of the 18th century, the castle came into the possession of the Counts of Rechtern-Limpurg-Speckfeld, but it was falling into disrepair. Today only a 15 m high wall of the former gate tower remains of the castle. The castle cellar is still inhabited: bats regularly hibernate here.

Oberschloss Tower Ruin (Castell Castle Ruins)

Highlight • Castle

The tower on the Schlossberg is only open once a year, namely on the wine hiking day in Castell, which takes place on the first weekend in September. Then you can climb the last visible building of the former castle and enjoy the view of the wide foothills of the Steigerwald up to the Rhön. The associated castle complex on the Schlossberg, destroyed and rebuilt in 1525 during the Peasants' War, was abandoned by the Counts of Castell after the construction of the new castle in 1691 and demolished in the middle of the 18th century.
