For our most recent visit to my hometown, we decided to book a room at a brewery inn in Werneck (district of Lower Franconia in northern Bavaria). It was a good and convenient choice, as we only had to walk about a minute to reach the castle grounds.
I left home 40 years ago, and nowadays I’m trying catch up on local sights I missed to see when I was young.
Baroque Castle Werneck
Castle Park Werneck
We had picked a glorious day to take a stroll through the park.
Baroque Castle Werneck in spring time
Balthasar Neumann, Würzburg’s most famous architect of his time, had built this castle for the Prince Bishop, Friedrich Carl von Schönborn, between 1733 – 1745.
This historical postcard is part of my private collection.
Werneck Castle
The castle houses both a psychiatric and an orthopedic clinic.
The café, chapel, and park can be accessed by the public.
