The castle Wasserknoden , also called Castle Wasserknoden is a former castle and a later palace in Wasserknoden (house no. 28), a modern suburb of Bad Berneck in the district of Bayreuth in Bavaria .

The castle, in which Johann von Wallenrode , later ( Archbishop of Riga ), spent his childhood, was built in 1342 by the Lords of Wallenrode . In 1525 the castle was destroyed in the Peasants' War. Of the new castle-like building erected in the second half of the 16th century, only a two-storey half - hipped roof building (residential stable) remains on the foundation walls of the former castle.
