The castle ruins of Aschach is an abandoned medieval low castle about 75 meters south-southeast of the local church of Aschach (Hainlranger 5), a district of the municipality of Freudenberg in the district of Amberg-Sulzbach in Bavaria .

description

The castle complex was set back on a small, flattened hill on the eastern edge of the valley of the Krumbach. The hill is of course protected by a steep drop, only the east side had to be protected by a ditch , which is now largely backfilled. Only a few remains of the wall in the basement of today's building are evidence of the medieval castle complex; the remains of a tower of the castle were demolished in 1862.

The castle nobility, the lords of Aschach, were named during the 12th century.

Today the ruin is registered as a monument D-3-71-122-11 "Medieval Wall Remains" and as a ground monument D-3-6537-0005 "Medieval Castle Stables " by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation .
