Meiningen, Germany

The Habichtsburg, formerly called Habesburg, was a medieval rock castle on a rock spur about 40 meters above the bottom of the Haßfurt Gorge west of the town of Meiningen. Together with the city and the northern district of Walldorf, it formed an exclave of the Würzburg Monastery between 1008 and 1542 and was already of great strategic importance at the time it was founded.
