The complex is also listed as an archaeological monument under the file number D-2-7143-0001 with the description "underground medieval and early modern findings in the area of the castle ruins and castle of Egg".

Beautiful castle on the mountain

Nice enclosure with lots of deer

Fantastic view of the knight's castle and the fairytale castle. Egg Castle is open to visitors in the warm season. As a visitor you can still see all the features of a castle in its original state.

The parish church was first mentioned in 1287 in a letter of indulgence from Bishop Bruno of Brixen, but it was not until 500 years later that a separate parish was founded. The church was built between the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century and was built by the Metten Monastery. The main components of the church come from three different construction periods: tower (13th/14th century), presbytery (16th century) and nave (19th century). Numerous demolition and expansion work took place over the centuries, so that the building represents a successful combination of late medieval and newer architecture.

There is a monument to the Via Nova and a bench to relax on. The VIA NOVA (Latin for 'New Way') is a newly created European pilgrimage route in July 2004 that does not have a specific destination, but rather combines old pilgrimage routes. The VIA NOVA connects Weltenburg/Kelheim, Bogen in Bavaria, Příbram in the Czech Republic and St. Wolfgang in the Salzkammergut with three main routes and a few side routes. On September 5, 2010, the Czech Republic was connected to this pilgrim route network for the first time with the 250 km long section from Vilshofen to Příbram. This path is not new either, but goes back to an old pilgrimage route, which has hardly been used since the Second World War and has only been used more regularly by pilgrims in recent years. In 2014, the European Pilgrimage Route was extended via Aufhausen (LK Regensburg) to Weltenburg Kelheim. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_Nova
