Schloss, Water castle in Weißdorf, Germany
The medieval fortress stands on a water-surrounded foundation, with its main structure rising three stories high above the moat system.
The castle's documented history begins in 1364 under the von Sparneck family, who controlled the territory corresponding to the former Münchberg district.
The transformation from a defensive fortress to a baroque country residence reflects the changing architectural preferences of Bavarian nobility through centuries.
Located at coordinates 50.1867°N and 11.8476°E, the castle remains private property of the Leuckart family and does not offer interior visits.
When the Swabian League planned to destroy the castle in 1523, they delayed the demolition until after Sebastian von Sparneck's wife gave birth.
