The Wiesethbruck Castle Stable , also known as Wiesethbruck Castle , is an abandoned medieval moated castle on the north bank of the Wieseth about 150 meters south-southeast of Wiesethbruck , a current part of the market town of Bechhofen in the Ansbach district in Central Franconia in Bavaria .

history

Around 1300 the castle was the seat of "Ulrich von Wiesenbrugg" and his sons, who were named as the feudal lords in the oldest Eichstatt fief book . After a change of rule, Fritz von Halderstetten, known as Stettner, appears as the owner of Wiesethbruck in 1455. A renovation of the castle commissioned by Albrecht Schenk von Geyern in 1716 was not carried out.

No remains of the moated castle complex around which the Wieseth flows have survived.
