Burgstall Ottenberg
At the highest point of the Ottenberg there is a rectangle of a stone wall without a moat. The dimensions are 43 × 30 meters. In the middle of the west side there is a hollow which extends the area somewhat. Around 1805 there were still remains of walls here, which have since fallen away.
In Pilsach there was a family of imperial ministerials that was mentioned in the 12th century together with other imperial servants. In 1138, a Scrutolf de Bibesache appears in a document from the Weihenstephan monastery.
