Tips from the Community

Franzl wandert 🥾
July 1, 2026, Old Cemetery

At the upper or southeastern end of the castle park is the old cemetery. I didn't find any information about it. It looks like the last burials took place in the 1980s. Only a few gravestones are present. You can also see some graves of nuns, I suspect they worked in the hospital. There is also a beautiful Lourdes grotto.

In Werneck too, the Nazis committed their atrocities. The memorial serves as a reminder. 👍

Café Balthasar in Werneck Castle invites you for a delicious stay in the castle or on the castle terrace.

Solely the beautiful castle chapel escaped the destruction of all the interior design in Werneck Castle for its conversion into a hospital. This building by Balthasar Neumann, decorated by Antonio Bossi, is magnificent.
