Rauheneck Castle

Rauheneck Castle is a ruined administrative castle of the Bishopric of Würzburg. According to legend, it had been built around 1180 by the Rauheneck family. They later allied with other noble families and placed their estates under the Bishopric of Würzburg. After the family's decline, the castle passed through various hands, including the Marschalks, before returning to the Bishopric. In 1829, the Barons of Rotenhan acquired the castle, but it has since fallen into decay. Recent efforts have begun to restore and preserve the castle.
