About this venue
Lohr am Main features a historic castle complex known as the Kurmainzer Schloss, which dates back to its founding in 1340 by the Counts of Rieneck. The castle, often called the fortress of four towers, is surrounded by a moat and a castle wall that is still well preserved. Since 1972, it has housed the Spessart Museum, which is dedicated to regional history and culture. The castle grounds provide a glimpse into the region’s medieval architecture and history. Adjacent to the castle, the old town offers charming streets and significant historical buildings, including a Fachwerkhaus from the 14th century that was once a cooperage and now functions as a tourist information office. The Schlossplatz area also features modern municipal buildings, such as the town hall built on the site of a former tithe barn, which previously served as a royal guest stable and a prison. The overall setting combines historical and administrative elements, creating an environment rich in local culture and history.
