Großlangheim Castle

As the visitor learns from the information board attached to the bridge, the moated castle is first mentioned in a document in the 14th century as the property of the Counts of Castell. From them, it passed to the Truchsess von Wetzhausen. After that, it finally came into the possession of the Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg. The destructive fury of the Peasants' War in 1525 did not spare the castle. On May 5, the peasants, together with local residents, plundered the castle and set it on fire. After the war, some local residents paid for this with their lives, others had to help with the reconstruction. From 1660 onwards, it could no longer be used as a residence and the rooms stood empty. From 1694 onwards, it fell into disrepair and served the population as a "quarry".

Only remnants of the foundation walls, the stone bridge, and the moat, which is partly filled with water, give an idea of the original size of this complex.
