Object description:

Picture: Zwernitz Castle

Zwernitz Castle, once the seat of the Upper Franconian Walpotes, was first mentioned in a document in 1156. From 1338 to 1810 it belonged to the Hohenzollern family and subsequently fell to the kingdom of Bavaria. The donjon and the Archive Building that are its dominant features, built of rusticated ashlars, are part of the original late Romanesque complex. The late medieval stronghold has an exhibition on the history of the castle and the Sanspareil Rock Garden and collections of side-arms, shaft weapons and furnishings from the 16th to 18th centuries.
