Gottesgab Fish Ponds

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

The place was first mentioned in writing in the Fraisch book under the mountains of 1604 as "Gottesgab". Judging by the name, the property was probably a gift made to the church.[3]

Large park with fallow deer. If you're ever here, you should take a walk around and enjoy the view of the castle from the other side.

Originally a fortified moated castle, of which the surrounding walls and a tower from 1574 still exist. The castle that now stands was given a baroque makeover from 1709, of which parts of the old complex are still preserved in the north wing. The south wing was built from 1719. As the former property of the Imperial Baron von Seckendorff, Weingartsgreuth Castle has been owned by the heir, Baron von Seckendorff-von Witzleben, since 1962. https://wachenroth.de/ortsteile/weingartsgreuth/

Here, right next to the road, a pair of swans are breeding, 5 eggs and one has just hatched. The swans are totally chilled out, standing only 2 m from the nest.
