上城 上城は、シュミットミュールン家の水城として建設されました。12世紀半ばから、エルンスト・フォン・シュミットミュールン（1166–1170）に始まり、彼らがここに居住していたことが証明されています。レゲンスブルクの代官であったゲオルグ・ハウスナー・フォン・ヴィンブッフ（1595–1614）が現在の城の建設者です。1600年の年号は、騎士の間にある壮麗な扉枠の一つに見られます。 上城は、切妻屋根を持つ3階建ての漆喰塗りのがっしりした建物です。八角形の階段塔と西側にもう一つ増築部分が接続されています。この城の1階には小さな礼拝堂もありましたが、長い間埋められ、壁で塞がれていました。塔の上には、花とロゼットで描かれた丸い天井があり、繊細な木の柱で支えられています。2階全体は、その装飾からドイツルネサンスの最も興味深い遺産の一つに数えられます。そこにある世俗的な壁画は、ランツフートの公爵城トラウスニッツの壁画を彷彿とさせます。 第二次世界大戦中およびその後に、上城は占領軍による宿営により深刻な被害を受けました。例えば、2階にあった貴重な陶器製暖炉が破壊されました。1937年に、この城はシュミットミュールン市場の所有となりました。戦後、この城はシュミットミュールン市場の市庁舎として利用されています。1977年から1980年の間には徹底的な修復が行われ、城と城の庭園はその姿を変えました。改修は2003年に完了しました。城内には、シュミットミュールンの郷土・団体博物館も入っています。 城の前には、泉の上に鋳造されたモリスの踊り子の像が立っており、ミュンヘンの旧市庁舎の祝祭の間にある有名なゴシック後期のモリスの踊り子像を制作したシュミットミュールン出身の彫刻家エラスムス・グラッサーを偲ばせています。 出典: Wikipedia

Very beautiful former Hofmarkburg, which was probably built on the walls of a moated castle, essentially from the 13th century. In the 20th century the chateau was used as a warehouse for hops and grain. The market town has belonged to it since 1937 and has since been used as the town hall. There is a charging station for e-bikes.

Ramspau Castle Around 1694, Ramspau Castle and the town that belonged to it came into the possession of Count Johann Siegmund Anton Franz von Reisach, who was the main caretaker of the Kurbavarian market town of Regenstauf. After 1700, he had large parts of the castle removed and used as building material for a new castle in the valley. The palace was built as a two-storey baroque complex with a hipped roof and four round corner towers with octagonal tops, which in turn are surmounted by onion domes. Construction was completed around 1726. In 1803 the barons of Pfetten came into possession, and since 1995 it has belonged to the Count of Ledebur-Wichten. He had the farm buildings renovated in 1999, some of which are now holiday homes. Source: Wikipedia

Worth seeing highlight in an excellent area

Upper Castle Schmidmühlen - The Upper Castle was built as a moated castle by the Lords of Schmidmühlen. From the middle of the 12th century, these can be traced here, starting with Ernst von Schmidmühlen (1166-1170). Eberhard von Schmidmühlen (1270-1284) and his wife Jakobäa von Sinzenhofen were the parents of Albert von Schmidmühlen, Abbot of St. Emmeram Abbey (1324-1358). The market coat of arms of Schmidmühlen with the mill wheel and hammer first appeared in 1311 as a sign of the Reimbot von Schmidmühlen. In 1363 the brothers Ulrich and Hans Ettenstetter settled here. In 1367 they were replaced by Ulrich Wolf von Nabburg, judge at Rieden. In 1371, Count Palatine Ruprecht I lent the house at Schmidmühlen to Ott the Wolf von Nabburg, his sons Ortlieb (later judge at Murach) and Heinrich and his nephew Heinrich Wolf. Heinrich Wolf, a son of Ott, is mentioned as a judge in Rieden in 1385, 1387 and 1389. In 1381 he married Osanna Paulsdorferin, the widow of Roger Punzinger († 1391), who had previously (1371, 1373, 1375, 1379) held the office of judge in Rieden. Heinrich Wolf is also named after Schmidmühlen. Another Osanna (probably the daughter of the aforementioned) is mentioned in 1408 as the wife of Georg Ettenstatter.[2] The Wolfs were followed by Georg Ettenstetter in 1407, Lienhard Haug in 1463, Heinrich Alberger of Würzburg in 1514-1532 and Wilhelm Hausner of Winbuch in 1546-1551. This family remained in possession of the Upper Castle until 1655. Georg Hausner von Winbuch (1595-1614), caretaker of Regenstauf, was the builder of the present castle. The year 1600 can be found on one of the magnificent door jambs of the knight's hall. After the brothers Hans Jakob, Ludwig and Bartholome Hausner von Winbuch (1614-1655), ownership passed to Christoph von Kürmreuth in 1655. From 1676 to 1720 the electoral councilor and chamberlain Wilhelm Franz Freiherr von Spiering, Lord of Fronberg, came into possession of the castle.

Great castle ruins, unfortunately you can't go in. Since in the forest and without a parking lot there are few people
