Altenstein Castle ((ドイツ語:Burg Altenstein)) is a ruined castle in Altenstein (Markt Maroldsweisach) in the county of Haßberge in Lower Franconia, Germany. The family seat of the lords of Stein zu Altenstein, which died out in the 19th century, is located 40 kilometres north of the city of Bamberg and, since the end of the 20th century, has been managed by the county of Haßberge. The castle was renovated around the turn of the millennium and developed in a manner consistent with its former role as a castle. The ruins are no longer freely accessible, instead an entry fee of four euros is charged. == Location == The ruins of the hill castle lie commandingly over the village of the same name on a ridge (ca. 452 metres above sea level (NN)) in the Haßberge hills between Ebern and Maroldsweisach. The castle hill rises about 150 metres above the Weisach valley. The elongated ridge on which Altenstein Castle stands is also the site of other fortifications. The Bavarian State Office for Heritage Conservation has categorized it with the monument serial number D-6-5830-0006.〔(Entry in the Bavarian State Office for Monument Conservation )〕 a medieval motte south and below the castle on the ''Galgenberg'' ("Gallows Hill"). About two kilometres south of the ruins on the eastern slopes there are two other heritage sites hidden in the forest and both called ''Altburg'' ("Old Castle"). Another four kilometres south is the large double castle of Lichtenstein on the side of the valley. The site of the Teufelsstein rock castle below Lichtenstein Castle is the possible family seat of the two lines of the lords of Stein. Above the hamlet of Eyrichshof are the important historical remains of Rotenhan Castle, one of the few genuine rock castles in Germany. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Altenstein Castle (Lower Franconia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
