Zamek w Tennenlohe

Schloss Tennenlohe is a sandstone structure with a mansard roof located at Schlossgasse 7 in Erlangen-Tennenlohe in the Mittelfranken district. The building now serves as a guesthouse and restaurant where visitors can dine and stay overnight.

The castle was built in the late 1500s for the Tetzel family and was destroyed in 1634 during the Thirty Years' War. It was reconstructed around 1690 as a residential tower and underwent significant changes afterward.

The name Tennenlohe reflects the area's local roots and remains visible in the street names throughout the district. Visitors can observe how hospitality traditions have shaped the way people gather and dine here over generations.

Visitors should check ahead to see if tours or meals are available, as the castle operates primarily as a private guesthouse and restaurant. Access is limited and depends on the establishment's operating hours.

Between 1777 and 1782, the castle received its current architectural form through extensive reconstruction and was subsequently recognized as a heritage monument. This reshaping defined the appearance that visitors see today.
