Hexenagger Castle, which is surrounded by a wall ring with four towers, was built over the previous medieval building. Only the stump of the square keep on the southwest side of the castle complex with its strong humpback blocks still belongs to the medieval period. Characteristic of the castle is the chapel tower, structured by blinding architecture, which rises above a former defensive tower, and the residential wing, a stair gable building from the 16th century. The two palace chapels from the 17th century are also worth seeing.

Hexenagger Castle is a majestic baroque castle on a mountain spur above the Bavarian town of Hexenagger near Altmannstein in the Schambachtal, a side valley of the Altmühl. The castle with its chapel from 1625 to 1629 was rebuilt on the basis of the castle destroyed in the Thirty Years' War.

A magical Christmas market takes place here every year.
