    The castle Giechkröttendorf is a former moated castle in Weismainer district Giechkröttendorf in the district of Lichtenfels in Upper Franconia. The present castle was rebuilt in the years 1571-1576 over an older building, after it was heavily damaged in the Peasants' War in 1525. The property, which is surrounded by a large garden, is now privately owned and can not be visited.

    Imposing castle, a bit hidden. Inaccessible. Privately owned.

    Unfortunately a bit overgrown, but still an impressive sight.
    And opposite there is a farm with highland cattle 😍
