    The striking complex of Marsbach Castle with its square tower rises high above the Danube and not far from the Schlögener Schlinge. In 1075 "Morspah" is already mentioned in the files. In the 16th century, the original castle was demolished and converted into a renaissance castle. Today Marsbach Castle is privately owned.

      On a plaque in front of Marsbach Castle it is written:

      Marsbach Castle - once a robber baron's castle

      "In the olden days, Marsbach was a nightmare for merchant and boatmen's escorts" as the saying goes. It refers in particular to the time when Otmar Oberhaimer owned the castle at the end of the 15th century. He was later executed for his acts of violence and looting.

      But things weren't always so combative here. Marsbach is one of the first documented places. As early as 1075 "Morspah" appeared in the records. For more than 500 years, a castle that was not very large, but extremely difficult to attack, stood up here. In the middle of the 16th century this was demolished and the much larger Renaissance palace was built. Marsbach became the judicial and administrative center of the region and remained so until 1848.

      Today the castle is privately owned by Mr. Georg Stradiot.
