View of the castle and market square

Werneck was first mentioned on August 10, 1223 as a gift from Bodo von Ravensburg, which was confirmed papally on April 9, 1223. Between 1224 and 1250, the Teutonic Order and later Konrad von Reichenberg and Konrad von Schmiedefeld shared ownership until it finally passed to the Würzburg Monastery. A castle complex located there was devastated in the Peasants' War in 1525 and taken and burned down by Margrave Albrecht Alkibiades in 1553. In 1601 it was rebuilt under Prince-Bishop Julius Echter . In 1723 the facility burned down again and was poorly repaired in 1724. By Balthasar Neumann the present castle of Prince Bishop was Friedrich Karl von Schönborn built between 1733 and 1745th According to data from the Society for Leprosy, there was a medieval leprosy in Werneck , as the field name Siechenberg suggests. However, the leprosy cannot be dated more precisely.

In addition to Veitshöchheim , Werneck was one of the two summer residences of the Würzburg prince-bishops . For just half a century, Werneck served them as their summer residence, which, according to Georg Dehio, “represented the combination of a princely 'maison de plaisance' with the buildings of a court estate in a lavish composition”. On November 28, 1802, the last Prince-Bishop of Würzburg, Georg Karl von Fechenbach , released his subjects from their loyalty obligation in Werneck and at the same time recommended them to the new sovereign, Elector Maximilian of Bavaria .

The former Werneck office of the Würzburg bishopric was left to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany to form the Grand Duchy of Würzburg after secularization in 1803 in favor of Bavaria in 1805 , before it came back to Bavaria with the Treaties of Paris in 1814. In 1818 the political municipality was established.

The baroque Werneck Castle was built from 1853 according to plans by the Royal Government and District Medical Councilor Dr. Schmidt and the Royal Building Inspector Mack converted into a sanatorium and nursing home for the mentally ill. On October 1, 1855, the sanatorium and nursing home in Werneck began work under its first director, Bernhard von Gudden (who later became the expert on King Ludwig II, who drowned with him in Lake Starnberg ). Werneck is thus the seat of one of the oldest psychiatric clinics in Germany.

In 1940 the around 800 patients of the sanatorium and nursing home were murdered as part of the so-called Action T4 on the orders of Otto Hellmuth .

Today the psychiatric clinic (sponsor: District of Lower Franconia ) is housed in a modern new building and supplies 290 beds in northeastern Lower Franconia (city and district of Schweinfurt as well as the districts of Hassberge, Rhön-Grabfeld, Bad Kissingen and Kitzingen with a total of 500,000 inhabitants). The orthopedic clinic of the Lower Franconia district is still housed in the castle. With 153 beds, it is one of the largest specialist orthopedic clinics in Germany. The two clinics as well as the psychiatric and geriatric psychiatric nursing homes housed in the castle complex are the largest employers in the Werneck market.

The castle can be viewed from the outside and partly from the inside; The baroque palace gardens and the English park are also worth seeing.
