    Wolfstein Castle, built around 1200 by the Bishop of Passau, Wolfger von Erla, served as a fortification, administrative seat, and episcopal hunting lodge. Today, the most important architectural monument in the Freyung-Grafenau district primarily served to protect the new settlements and the northern border of the former abbey lands.

    The town's landmark houses the extensively modernized Hunting-Land-River Museum, which reopened in October 2014. An information center for the major protected areas of the Bavarian Forest and Bohemian Forest National Parks, the Bavarian Forest Nature Park, and the Sumava Landscape Conservation Area has also been established.

    Touching and trying things out is permitted at the Hunting-Land-River Museum: Slip into princely robes and become the lord of the castle yourself, escape a hawk hunting you, see like an owl in the night, and compete in the long jump with the forest animals. The museum presents the themes of nature, ecology, and cultural history in a modern and interactive way, captivating visitors across the board. The Hunting-Land-River Museum is a highlight of the cultural landscape of the Bavarian Forest and Bohemian Forest – and it's located in the heart of Freyung!
    The National Park and Nature Park Information Center displays, among other things, a large model of the Bavarian Forest and Bohemian Forest.
