The Postal Roschau is an Outbound Spur castle northwest of Roschau , now a district of the municipality Theisseil in Upper Palatinate Neustadt an der Waldnaab in Bavaria . No historical or archaeological information is known about this castle, it is roughly dated as medieval .

The Burgstall is located on a spur-like spur of a terrain that slopes slightly to the west towards the Waldnaab . Small remains of the castle stables can still be seen at the top. Originally it was surrounded on the mountain side by a ditch open to the valley . Its diameter in the bottom of the trench is about 20 m. The hill has been largely excavated from the adjacent courtyard for material extraction.
