The small, well-preserved Schloss Fürsteneck was once built as a border fortress of the Passau bishops against the Bavarian dukes. After Passau had fallen to Bayern, the castle was also handed over. Since then, she changed hands several times. Today there is a cozy country inn in the castle and the information center of the nature park Ilz.
