Schloss Thurnau, Medieval castle in Thurnau, Germany
The castle complex features multiple buildings, including the Bower, a four-level structure with historical kitchen facilities and living quarters dating from the 13th century.
Originally constructed in 1239 by the Förtsch family, the castle transferred to the Giech and Künsberg noble families in 1566 after the Förtsch lineage ended.
The Research Institute for Music Theater of the University of Bayreuth and the Institute for Franconian Regional History maintain offices in the Hans-Georg Building.
The castle offers accommodation in modern rooms within the Carl-Maximilian Building, with facilities for celebrations, conferences, and regional dining experiences.
The castle fountain displays a rococo design incorporating swan motifs, while the Stork Building earned its name from its architectural similarity to stork legs.
