The Burgstall Schlossberg is an abandoned medieval castle complex on the eponymous Schlossberg above the Rohrweiherbach valley, a tributary of the Naab . It is located around 960 meters west of the Marienkapelle of Sitzambuch or around 3600 meters south-southeast of Schnaittenbach in the Upper Palatinate community of the same name in Bavaria , Germany .

No historical or archaeological information is known about this castle . During a smaller excavation on the grounds of the Burgstall by the local researcher Anton Dollacker in 1927, some fragments of medieval ceramic and clay were found. The finds are in the Amberg Museum. The castle is roughly dated to the medieval era. Only a double ring moat with an intermediate wall has survived from the complex , the site is protected as a ground monument number D-3-6438-0009: Medieval castle stables .

description

The castle stable of the Spornburg lies at 593.2  m above sea level. NN height on a north-east facing and about 160  meters above the valley floor mountain spur, which emerges from a slope of 667  m above sea level. NN high Buchberg jumps out. Its northeast side is naturally well protected by the steep slope of the terrain; on the further rising side in the southwest, the facility was secured by a 15-meter-wide and two-meter-deep, roughly U-shaped ring trench . This ditch runs out at both ends in the steep slope. This outer ditch is followed by a 15-meter-wide earth rib, in which, according to Anton Dollacker, stone installations are located. This is followed by a second semicircular, 10-meter-wide and 1.5-meter-deep ring trench that surrounds the steeply sloping cone of the inner castle . The irregularly round inner castle hill has a diameter of about 35 meters and its surface is heavily churned. There are no foundations or other structural remains.
