Hiking

The double-winged castle rises on a central hill above the market. At the foot of the hill, at a short distance, are the market square and the evangelical church.

The left wing houses a dormitory for people with a mental disability of the Diakonie Hochfranken. The right wing is privately owned. Holiday apartments can be rented there. Small utility buildings have been preserved at the castle, which already belonged to the previous buildings. The modern terraced outdoor pool is located on the grounds of the former castle park behind it.

Oberkotzau Castle.

Information:

First mentioned in 1234. Destroyed several times, including during the Hussite Wars. By the 18th century, the complex was largely in ruins and was rebuilt in the Baroque style. Remnants of a tower and the chapel are still visible. The castle complex in its present form was built after the town fire of 1852. It now houses, among other things, the Oberkotzau Castle Residence, run by the Diakonie Hochfranken (a social welfare organization).
