Burgruine

The Rauheneck Castle ruins stand on a hill with remaining walls and artillery round towers, representing medieval construction techniques from the 15th century.

The castle experienced destruction in 1323 by the Bishop of Würzburg, leading to a ban on reconstruction that forced the Rotenhan family to relocate.

The ruins belong to the German Castle Corner region, where numerous medieval fortifications demonstrate the military and social structures of Bavaria.

Visitors can access the castle ruins through forest paths, with parking spaces available nearby and information panels explaining the structure's layout.

The castle features rock-carved structures including a chapel entrance and water cistern, making it one of Germany's rare examples of rock fortifications.
