Sandersdorf Castle, Medieval castle in Altmannstein, Germany

The castle displays a four-wing structure with gabled roofs, bay windows, and a colonnade along its western section overlooking the Schambachtal valley.

The Lords of Sandersdorf established the original fortress in the 12th century, with the current structure completed in 1646 following destruction during the Thirty Years' War.

The Chapel of St. Joseph contains artistic treasures including a crucifix by Ignaz Günther and a Romanesque tympanum on its exterior walls.

Groups of ten or more people can arrange visits to the privately owned castle through the official website www.schloss-sandersdorf.com.

The castle housed members of the Illuminati society, leading to a police raid in 1787 that temporarily resulted in property confiscation.
