Burg Rothenfels, Historical castle in Rothenfels, Bavaria, Germany.

Description

Burg Rothenfels is a fortified structure positioned on elevated terrain with residential buildings, agricultural outbuildings, and planted areas that command views of the surrounding landscape. The buildings and grounds form a cohesive composition adapted to the sloping terrain.

History

The fortress was built in earlier times and inhabited and used across many generations. In 1919 it underwent significant changes that shaped its role in the modern era.

Culture

The castle displays architectural features that reflect its long use as a residential and working estate through different periods. The way rooms and outdoor spaces are arranged shows how people adapted the building to their daily needs over time.

Practical

The grounds are located at Bergrothenfelser Straße 71 and accessible on foot, though the sloping terrain presents elevation changes. Visitors should note that certain areas have limited accessibility and sturdy footwear is helpful for navigating the property.
