Schloss, Medieval castle in Gemünden am Main, Germany
The stone fortification stands on an elevated position overlooking the confluence of three rivers: Main, Sinn, and Fränkische Saale
The castle, built in 1243 by the Counts of Rieneck, served as a strategic point to control river trade and collect customs along the Main route.
The structure represents typical Bavarian defensive architecture with its massive walls, watchtower, and enclosed courtyard layout reflecting medieval military engineering principles.
The castle grounds open daily from April through October, with guided tours available in German at 11:00 and 14:00, including access to the 126-step watchtower.
Visitors can request to plant personal trees within the castle forest, contributing to the preservation of the surrounding protected natural landscape.
