The former Burrach Castle is located in the forest on the so-called Burrauberg , around 300 meters north of the Burraumühle still existing today and used as a residential building . At around 650 m above sea level. NN lying terrain is on a sloping hillside to a silted fish pond. The tributary of the Kehlbach , known as the Burraubach , runs below this forest.
history
Nothing is known about its builders, but Burrach Castle is traded as the seat of the Lords of Reischach . The place name " Reischach ", today a district of Wald, still reminds of the former lords of the castle who made their possessions a fiefdom for the Wald monastery . After the castle was abandoned , it was razed , as early as 1241 the castle was called the Burgstall .
investment
A few stones were still found from the abandoned castle during forest work in the 1930s. Most of the original material was probably used to expand the nearby Wald monastery .
