Schloss Haunritz stands in the Högenbach valley, within the municipality of Weigendorf in the Upper Palatinate. Originally a noble seat that became an iron hammer forge as early as the 14th century, the building retains a tower-like central section flanked by an eastern wing topped with a half-timbered gable. A notable feature is its oak spiral staircase from the late 17th century, built so that one can see straight down its central shaft from top to bottom. The property has belonged to the same family, the Brands, for six generations.
