Germany · 13th century
Wernberg Castle lies in the Upper Palatinate Forest in Bavaria, on a spur (415 m above sea level) above the market town of Wernberg-Köblitz. The castle complex is well preserved and, apart from a few years, has been in continuous use. After housing an upmarket hotel with restaurant until 2019, since 2020 it has been one of four locations of the private Vincera Clinics for psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy. The complex is listed as a protected building monument of Wernberg under file number D-3-76-150-23. It is likewise listed as a ground monument under file number D-3-6439-0013 in the Bavarian Atlas as "archaeological findings and finds in the area of the medieval Wernberg Castle".
