Castle ruins Haus Murach "Gerunc de Mourach" appears for the first time in a document in 1110. At that time he accompanied his feudal lord, the powerful Count Berengar II of Sulzbach, on the Italian campaign of Berengar's protégé, King Henry V. After the male line of the Sulzbach family died out, the Counts of Ortenburg inherited part of their dominion with the main towns of Warberg (Burgstall near Neunburg) and Murach in 1188. Later, the Ortenburgers even called themselves Counts of Murach. The ministerial family with the leading name Gerunc remained present in Obermurach. From 1268 to 1272, Obermurach was sold to the Upper Bavarian Duke Ludwig in a series of contracts. The castle was continually expanded and became famous for its stability; the Hussites besieged it in 1428 and 1433, but were unable to take it. During the course of the 14th century, the Murachers spread out to several castles in the Upper Palatinate region, for example to Thanstein or to Flügelsberg in the Altmühl valley. In 1489, Albrecht von Murach was a member of the Löwler uprising against the Bavarian duke. Obermurach survived these turbulences and even the Thirty Years' War relatively unscathed, but this can be explained by the fact that it had lost its military importance by then. In 1805, Obermurach, which was still well preserved at the time, was partially demolished and the stones used to build houses in the village. It was only secured from 1842 by the Oberviechtach district court; today it belongs to the Free State of Bavaria. You enter the extensive outer bailey through a simple gate, which is surrounded by a still well-preserved, high ring wall. It was mainly used for utility and residential buildings. The older inner bailey, which is located a little higher up, is on the east side of the complex. A 2 m thick shield wall shields it from the attack side in the south. The main castle is dominated by the 20 m high, square keep and a large tower-like residential building. The keep, with an entrance at a height of 8.5 m, was built in the lower part from large, regular granite blocks and probably dates from the 13th century. The castle chapel was probably located to the southwest of the keep, and the remains of a semicircular wall tower can be seen to the west. Source: Extracts from www.burgenseite.de

Only a ruin remains of the once impressive Murach Castle, first mentioned in documents in 1110. The keep, built around 1250, is the best preserved part of the complex to date. On the 20-meter-high tower there is a viewing platform from which you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view of the surrounding area. The former castle is one of the largest and most impressive castles along the Bohemian border. !Attention! The key to the keep must be picked up in advance from the castle warden, Obermurach 58, Tel. 09671/91234.

Is a worthwhile goal 👍

The clay mill was a grinding mill with a cutting saw and oil beating, with which vegetable oils were extracted. The wasteland was already being farmed in 1572.
