    Tips

    The stately renaissance castle - built from 1586 to 1593 by Count Palatine Friedrich - is one of the most remarkable castles in the Upper Palatinate: a three-storey box structure with steep saddle roof, surrounded by five round towers with pointed helmets, the decorative gable, deep vaults, a cruciform vaulted ground floor, an ornamented raftered ceiling in the first floor, remains of baroque frame stucco ceilings and a huge roof truss.
