Salzburg Castle
 The
mighty castle that seems to reign on its wooded height is
one of Germany's biggest. Even though it has been reconstructed
(different Roman, Gothic, and Renaissance elements give proof
of it), it has never been destroyed and can still be admired
in its entirety.
Before the 12th century the castle was used as
a place to hide from the enemy. Afterwards, it was remodeled
by the royal bishops from Würzburg. The reason was the
creation of an administrative center for the nearby salt district.
The castle was also used for military purposes: it was to
protect the Count von Henneberg, who, coming from Thüringisch-Franken,
wanted to expand his territory southwards.
From inside the walls you can distinguish several
smaller, individual castles, which are proof of the heir culture
that existed in the Salzburg.
