Nassenfels Castle, Medieval castle in Nassenfels, Bavaria, Germany
The rectangular castle features a five-meter-high defensive wall, three preserved wall towers, and a prominent watchtower on the southern edge of Nassenfels.
The castle, first documented in 1245, witnessed the murder of Count Gebhard of Hirschberg by his court jester during a siege of the fortress.
The structure served as the administrative seat for Eichstatt officials until 1804, representing the authority of the local bishopric over the surrounding territory.
While the castle interior remains private and inhabited, visitors can examine the external medieval architecture, including the remaining defensive walls and towers.
Archaeological excavations in 1982 revealed artifacts dating from 70,000 BC to the Celtic period around 2,000 BC within the castle grounds.
