Schloss Weißenstein, Medieval castle in Lauterstein, Germany
Schloss Weißenstein stands on a mountain ledge, featuring an eight-sided defensive tower and a terrace that replaced the former Tafelbau structure.
The original castle, first documented in 1241, underwent major transformations between the 15th and 17th centuries under the ownership of the Rechberg family.
The castle chapel, dating from 1471, displays both Baroque elements from 1700 and Neo-Gothic design features added during an 1877 renovation.
The castle functions as an event venue for weddings, conferences, and receptions, with guided tours available through prior arrangement with the Kage family.
Since 1971, the castle houses KAGEs MIKROVERSUM, a specialized institute dedicated to microphotography and scientific imaging presentations.
