    The former Weiden Castle, built from 1404 onward, was the administrative seat of the Parkstein-Weiden Joint Office from 1421, and also the residence of Count Palatine Friedrich von Parkstein from 1585 to 1593. The house, located directly on the former city wall, is connected to the Upper Gate.

        The Veste House is said to have been built by Duke Henry the Rich in 1493 according to history.
        Count Palatine Friedrich von Parkstein lived in the house as a residence from 1585 to 1593.A commemorative plaque next to the entrance portal, built in 1534, announces that the later prince-bishop of Vienna, Franz Ferdinand von Rummel, was born there in 1644 in the Vesten Haus.
