Dießenstein Castle Ruins

The castle was built in 1347 to monitor the two Ilz crossings, Dießensteiner Mühle and Furt-Rettenbach, and to monitor an important trade route between Passau and Bavaria. The border ran on the Ilz.
There is not much more information on the information board by the castle, which is now privately owned. There is not much left of the castle and the rest is temporarily secured with beams. Enter the square at your own risk. Good footwear is strongly recommended. To get to know the history of the area and because of the adventurous paths up to the Ilz, I recommend a visit.
At the rest area above the castle at the courtyard of the same name there is a cross that commemorates the people who died when the castle was taken in 1742.
The Dießensteiner Mühle, where the border bridge was located, is not far down the river from here.

It is essential to wear sturdy shoes. Great privately owned ruin, but freely accessible.

The Ilz is the most beautiful just below the Dießenstein.
