Burg Prunn is located in the Altm&uuml;hlthal &#8211; a valley which is said to be have been settled already by the <a href=\"http:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Schulerloch\">Neanderthals<\/a> and which I knew already before the construction of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rhine%E2%80%93Main%E2%80%93Danube_Canal\">Rhein-Main-Donau Kanal<\/a>. Burg Prunn was together with its owner de Prunne first mentioned in 1037. It is one of the few places where a manuscript of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nibelungenlied\">Nibelungenlied<\/a> was found. In 1147 it was sold to the gents Laaber who did a lot of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gothic_art\">medieval<\/a> construction work and after some other owners it was sold in 1338 to Hans I. von <a href=\"http:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fraunberg_%28Adelsgeschlecht%29\">Fraunberg<\/a>. Our tourist guide categorized the Fraunbergs officially as &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Raubritter\">Raubritter<\/a>&#8220;, i.e. as <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Robber_baron\">Barons<\/a> which &#8211; according to our guide, if I recall correctly &#8211; made on average approximately 25% return from their ventures, which ranged from the usual <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fiefdom\">fiefdom<\/a> to plain robbery. After the Fraunbergs, who stayed there basically until they died out the castle was sold to Karl K\u00f6ckh zu Mauerstetten und Bodenmais. The K\u00f6ckh had a weakness for architecture and thus the K\u00f6ckhs did beautiful <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Renaissance_%28disambiguation%29\">Renaissance<\/a> constructions. After the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thirty_Years%27_War\">Thirty Years&#8217; War<\/a> the castle had to be sold again to a Field Marshal Truckmiller and and in 1672 it was sold to the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Society_of_Jesus\">Jesuits<\/a>. In 1773 it went into the hands of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Order_of_Saint_John_%28Bailiwick_of_Brandenburg%29\">Johanniter<\/a>, however after their <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Commandry_%28feudalism%29\">commandry<\/a> was abrogated the kings of Bavaria took over the castle and finally it went to the bavarian <a href=\"http:\/\/www.schloesser.bayern.de\/englisch\/aboutus\/index.htm\">Palace Department<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Below you can see some shots from the castle including jails and torture chamber. By the way the little house attached to the wall (second and third picture) is a toilet with a so to say free-fall-flush. The little village underneath is called Nusshausen.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/wp-content\/2009\/11\/prunn1-IMGP2119-450.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"301\"
