Zwernitz Castle – Wonsees

Picture: Zwernitz Castle

Zwernitz Castle was originally the hereditary seat of the Walpodes of Upper Franconia. The keep and the tithe barn made of rusticated ashlars are part of the original Romanesque complex built in 1200. In 1338 the castle came into the possession of the Hohenzollern family. Around two centuries later the half-timbered buildings of the lower castle were added. When the rock garden was laid out, it was designed to incorporate a view of the castle located on a natural elevation above it. An interesting exhibition in the castle complex documents the history of Zwernitz Castle, its inhabitants, and Sanspareil. From the keep there is a magnificent panoramic view of the Franconian Switzerland Natural Park.

 
Hunting in the time of the margraves

The courtly coursing, painting by Kleemann brothers

The permanent exhibition "Hunting in the time of the margraves" documents hunting as pursued by the court in the two margraviates of Ansbach and Bayreuth at the height of its popularity in the 18th century. With impressive exhibits and informative descriptions a fascinating picture is created of court hunting in a world long since past.

Right next to the castle lies internal link Sanspareil Rock Garden with its bizarre rock formations and the internal link Oriental Building.
