history
Waldschwind was first mentioned in 1150. At that time it was called "Gualesvinden". In the following years, the names "Wales winds" and "Wolesuinden" appear. This means something like "at the turns of the Walah". The Wends were a Slavic tribe, the residents were owed to a nobleman named Walah. In 1150, however, the brothers Rudolf and Hartmut von Scherenberg sold the settlement.
The Cistercian monastery in Ebrach became the new lord of the village . It set up a farm here. During the 18th century, the prince-bishops from the Schönborn family visited the Hofgut several times and organized hunts here with the Ebrach abbots. After the secularization of 1803 the farm became part of Geusfeld and came into private hands.
Attractions
The so-called Ebracher Klosterhof still forms the center of the former estate. It is a long, massive building from the 17th century. In 1748 the courtyard was rebuilt by Abbot Hieronymus II Held . A garden house with a mansard roof was also built around 1800 . In addition, the courtyard wall has been partially preserved. The parts of the garden walls were decorated with classicist pillar portals.
