Feuerstein Castle

The white castle stands on Feuerstein hill, featuring multiple wings, dormitories, conference rooms, and sports facilities within its modern architectural design.

Built in 1941 by Oskar Vierling, the castle initially served as a research laboratory for high-frequency technology with 250 employees working on wartime communications.

The castle includes the Church of Transfiguration, constructed in 1961, containing three distinct spaces: a crypt, lower church, and upper church.

The castle functions as a Roman Catholic youth and conference center, offering accommodation, meeting spaces, and outdoor activity areas for visitors.

The former safe room with its thick steel door has been transformed into a wine cellar, preserving an element of the castle's original construction.
