Veldenstein Castle, Neuhaus an der Pegnitz, Middle Franconia, Bavaria, Germany, Europe.

---

Veldenstein castle is a large medieval fortification situated above the town of Neuhaus an der Pegnitz, about 30 km North East of Nuremburg. Hermann Göring bought the castle in 1939 and had it renovated, including an air-raid bunker in the lower sections. However, he would not donate money for a swimming pool in the town, saying, "If I can bathe my ass in the Pegnitz River, so can the Neuhaus people." It now houses an Hotel and Restaurant.
