history

The castle was built in the 12th century by the Lords of Chamerau as ancestral seat, presumably to protect an ancient traffic route from Cham to Kötzting and mentioned in a document in 1180 with a Puchard de Chamerave. The Chamerau moved their headquarters to the nearby strategically more favorable Haidstein (see Burgstall Haidstein ) and had Chamerau administered by carers .

After Peter the Chamerauer died in 1452, the castle came by marriage in 1474 to the knight Hans Türlinger, who sold it to Duke Albrecht IV in 1495 and fell into disrepair after 1500.

In 1811, the carpenter Wolfgang Neumeier von Chamerau bought the ruins from the Bavarian state for 25 guilders, and in 1817 many arrows and a gold ring were found when the walls, which were still high as a church tower, were cleared away. Only a remnant of a moat and a section of the curtain wall remain from the former castle complex . The Burgstall is now a ground monument .
