Very beautiful small castle made of sandstone with walls and towers
September 19, 2023
Beautiful little castle complex in the forest near Buchau. However, the castle is privately owned. It was built in the 13th / 14th Century. After the Peasant War it was renewed by the Giech family. Until its extinction, Buchau was the seat of the Giech family's own line. In the 19th century, additions and renovations were carried out in the neo-Gothic style.
