The Scherenburg Castle ruins, also known as Scherenberg Castle, are the ruins of a hilltop castle (Hangburg) at 200 m above sea level on a slope above the town center of Gemünden am Main in the Lower Franconian Main-Spessart district of Bavaria. The castle was probably built before 1243 by the Counts of Rieneck, who owned the land there, as a toll castle to secure their toll revenues when crossing the Main River and the border with Würzburg. This led to disputes with the Würzburg bishop, Hermann I of Lobdeburg, who had the Slorburg Castle built nearby to demonstrate his power there as well. The disputes were settled by a settlement in 1243. In 1469, the castle finally came into the possession of Würzburg and was named after Prince-Bishop Rudolf II of Scherenberg. It served as an official cellar until 1598 and was inhabited until the 18th century. A wedding ceremony took place in the castle chapel as recently as 1732. In the second half of the 18th century, the castle complex, which had been privately owned since 1825 and has been the property of the town of Gemünden since 1965, began to decline. Since the 1990s, the Scherenburg Festival (open-air theater) has been held in the courtyard of the castle ruins every summer. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgruine_Scherenburg
