Waischenfeld Castle (Ruin)

First indications of a fortification in Waischenfeld date back to 1079, when Wirint von Waischenfeld was mentioned in documents. The castle itself was first documented in 1122 as “Urbs.” After the death of the last Waischenfeld, Ulrich, in 1216, the castle and lordship passed to Eberhard III von Greifenstein. Later, after the demise of Konrad II von Schlüsselberg in 1348, the complex came into the possession of the Diocese of Bamberg. In 1430, the castle suffered damage during the Hussite Wars.
