The Postal Bleschenberg is an Outbound hilltop castle on the 596 m high summit of Bleschenberges in the district Sinzendorf the city Waldmünchen in Upper Palatinate district of Cham in Bavaria .

history

The castle was probably built as an ancestral seat in the first half of the 12th century by the lords of Bleschenberg, who were either the Diepoldinger or the Schwarzenburg ministerials . It was first mentioned in 1261 with the widow of Ulrich "de Plerberch". The castle was abandoned in the second half of the 13th century, presumably in the possession of the Schönthal monastery . Around 1417 the pilgrimage church of Sankt Leonhard was built on the remains of the castle , which was probably destroyed in 1634 during the Thirty Years' War .

description

The rather small 40 by 20 meter castle complex was a tower castle ( permanent house ), the core of which was the residential tower on a floor area of ​​around 15.0 by 7.0 meters, from which the only 2.0 meter thick remains of the foundation wall testify.

In the north and east the castle was protected by a steep slope, in the west by a ten-meter-wide and five-meter deep ditch and in the south by an arched ditch with a rampart in front of it and a circular wall , remains of which can still be seen. In 1956, altar foundations were uncovered under today's chapel, indicating the pilgrimage church from 1417. The Burgstall is now a ground monument .
