Vilseck, Medieval town in Amberg-Sulzbach, Germany.
The municipality of Vilseck spans across 64 square kilometers of northeastern Bavaria, with the Vils River flowing through its center at 402 meters elevation.
The construction of Vilseck Castle in 920 marked the beginning of settlement development, leading to the town's first official documentation in 1185.
The First German Tower Watchmen Museum presents artifacts and information about medieval tower guards who protected the town from threats and fires.
Three main grocery stores, Edeka, Netto, and Nahkauf, serve the 6,768 residents with fresh produce, local products, and in-house bakeries.
The municipality maintains a metal basket atop a tower for storks to build nests, following a regional tradition of welcoming these migratory birds.
