The burgstall of Dörnhof Castle is the site of a demolished, medieval lowland castle situated at a height of 400 m above sea level (NHN) in the vicinity of Dörnhof Farm near the village of Dörnhof, part of Gräfenberg in the county of Forchheim in the German state of Bavaria. In 1502 the castle is mentioned as Dürnhoff in an uncompleted deed of purchase between Nuremberg citizens, Hans Helchner and Sebald Tucher. On 13 December 1505 Durnhof was sold by Hans Helchner jun. as a freehold possession with its estate to the city of Nuremberg. The seat was last mentioned in 1547. It was probably destroyed in 1553 during the Second Margrave War. Of the former castle, which was laid out on a triangular site, the only surviving remains are high retaining walls on the downhill side of the smallholding and traces of a neck ditch on the uphill side.

The fortification of Burggraf (German: Abschnittsbefestigung Burggraf), also called the Burggrafenstein or Furchste, is a levelled prehistorical or early medieval sector fortification on a hill spur between Untertrubach and Dörnhof near Gräfenberg in the county of Forchheim in the south German state of Bavaria. The fortification was recorded in 1417 as a burgstall. It consisted of ramparts and an entrance passage at the southwest corner and probably a second on the southeast side. Only the remains of two sector ramparts have survived.

The natural monument Kasberger Linde (lit. English: Kasberg lime tree), also known as Kunigundenlinde or Franzosenlinde, is a summer lime tree (Tilia platyphyllos) located on the outskirts of the Gräfenberg district of Kasberg in the Forchheim district. In the vicinity of the tree, court days were presumably held during the Middle Ages. Estimates suggest that the lime tree is between 600 and 1000 years old, and it has been officially recognized as a natural monument by the Lower Nature Conservation Authority of the Forchheim district since at least 1976. Adjacent to the ancient Kasberger Linde stands another lime tree, approximately 150 years old.
