Klaffenbach Water Castle
Wasserschloss Klaffenbach
A Renaissance water castle encircled by a moat on the south side of the city, with craft workshops, a restaurant and a golf course.
This 16th-century Renaissance castle is surrounded by a moat. Its courtyard houses craft workshops, pottery and glass shops, a restaurant and a small hotel, and a golf course lies outside. The castle often hosts exhibitions and weddings. In summer, the courtyard holds open-air concerts and markets. Entry to the courtyard is free, and some exhibitions charge a small fee. It is about 15 minutes' drive from the city center and can be combined with Rabenstein Castle for a half-day trip on the outskirts of the city.
