Schellerlhof castle ruins

The remains of the listed Schellerlhof castle ruins are located in the Upper Palatinate town of Roding near the village of Raubersried in the district of Cham ( Bavaria ), which belongs to the neighboring Markt Stamsried . The facility is located on the north-northeast slope of the Schwärzenberg above the source area of ​​the Schellerbach in the Strahlfelder forest.

history

The name of the facility is derived from the Schellerbach. There is no written record of this system. Possibly it is a forework of the castle Schwärzenberg from the 14th century. Due to the lack of a trench, the system can only be assigned a limited defense character.

Building description

The complex rises on a terraced hill of 30 × 15 m. There are wall sections of a rectangular building measuring 25 × 11 m. These are 1.2 m thick and made of rose quartz quarry stones. The building is divided by three transverse walls, and there is another separate square room on the eastern corner. Here was a farm that burned down in 1792.
