Burgruine

The remains of Scherenburg castle stand on a hilltop, featuring ancient stone walls and defensive structures that date from medieval fortification architecture.

Built in the 13th century, this fortress served as a strategic military outpost, controlling the surrounding region until its gradual decline through centuries of conflicts.

The architectural heritage monument demonstrates the medieval building methods of Bavaria through its remaining stone walls, towers, and foundations.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked hiking trails from Gemünden am Main, with designated parking areas available at the base.

The castle ruins provide a direct view over three converging rivers: the Main, Sinn, and Fränkische Saale, creating a natural observation point.
