End of Castle Plößberg

The Plößberg farmers, angry because of the behavior of the landlord Wolfgang Anton von Sazenhofen , set fire to the castle in 1751 (or 1754). As a result, today's New Palace was built at this point . The year 1614 is carved on a lintel on this, which may indicate a reconstruction of the castle. The ruins of the burned down castle remained until 1783; In a basement room below there was a well this extension was also visible on the local newspaper from 1840.

Remnants of this building with 2 m thick walls were discovered during construction work in 2000; no archaeological protection took place. The remains are in the garden of the “Gasthof Bayerischer Hof” that exists here.
