history

The castle was built after ceramic finds in the late 11th or early 12th century and was first mentioned in 1242. Berthold von Hohenburg is named as the owner until 1242 and thereafter the Hochstift Regensburg .

description

The castle had an arched outer bailey to the northeast below its core castle , a neck moat and a fore made up of three walls and a moat.

Today there is a cemetery chapel on the castle stable , which used to be a Catholic pilgrimage church, which still contains Romanesque parts of the castle chapel from the 12th century, and a cemetery next to it. During the construction and expansion of this cemetery in 1832, the castle stables were severely disturbed, so a tower hill, the location of the keep , was largely removed. The Burgstall is now a ground monument .
