ヴンジーデルの洞窟・トップ8

ロイポルドルフのハンマーシュロスは1395年に初めて言及されました

The castle courtyard has been converted into a theater stage. The tower was unfortunately closed. The ruins look more spectacular from a distance than they do from the ground. If you happen to be passing by, I'd recommend taking a look.

Unfortunately, the restaurant with beer garden in the Hammerherrenhaus is closed until further notice due to family reasons as a result of the pandemic😥.

Easy to miss at the junction on Burgstrasse when the vegetation has grown taller.

Waldershof Castle is privately owned. It can only be viewed from the outside. Probably built around 1100 as a moated castle (the builder is unknown), the castle stands on a basalt chimney on the outskirts of Waldershof, right next to the town hall. The current appearance only gives an incomplete impression of its original size and appearance. The mighty round building was a moated castle, which was surrounded to the south and west by the castle pond, which is now almost dry, and by the Kösseinebach. To the north, it was probably protected from attacks by ramparts. The mighty tower on the northeast corner, which was demolished in 1823, offered a wide view of the Waldershof valley. After secularization, the castle was declared state property on December 29, 1802 by Elector Max Josef of Bavaria, along with the Waldsassen monastery, which owned it for centuries, and used as the judge's residence. The state sold the castle on September 16, 1805.

The history of the former Thiersteiner Veste goes back to the 14th century; it is the town's landmark that cannot be overlooked from all directions. Unfortunately closed indefinitely due to construction work (05/2024).

The castle miner is the legendary figure of Thierstein.

Very well maintained facility and beautifully modernized.
