Troßberg Castle
The site of the former castle is located on a corner of the Schweinberg, surrounded by the upper reaches of the Pilsach. During the High Middle Ages, Troßberg Castle was the seat of the bailiffs who ruled the Litzlohe district, which later became part of the Pfaffenhofen district. The previous bailiffs were the Counts of Kastl, followed by the noble Wolfstein family. The Litzlohe bailiwick then passed to the Dukes of Bavaria at the end of the 13th century.

A small, fine trail leads to the Burgstall. Everything is already overgrown.

The moat can still be clearly seen, otherwise vault collapses can still be seen on the castle grounds, the castle was strategically located - view of 4 valleys.
