A ducal castle of the later imperial palace once stood here. Today only the Heinrichsturm bears witness to its time. With its proud 27 meters high, it is still an impressive piece of history that you shouldn't miss out on.

The Heinrichsturm was built in 1220-1229 and is the remainder of a ducal castle complex.
The tower itself cannot be entered, but it is also worth seeing from the outside.
If you are out and about in Bad Abbach, it is worth taking a short detour there.
