Burg Argenschwang

Rosenburg is a stone castle built on elevated ground in Argenschwang with a central tower and protective walls. The buildings and fortifications show how a medieval defensive structure was organized to guard against attack.

The castle was founded in the 12th century as a fortress to control the surrounding area. In the 17th century it underwent major renovations that changed its appearance and defensive capabilities.

The castle serves as a local landmark where people connect with medieval history and learn about life in earlier centuries. Visitors can observe how the structure was designed to protect inhabitants and command the surrounding landscape.

The castle is open to visitors from April through October with guided tours available in German and English. It is best to check visiting times in advance and arrange tours ahead of your arrival.

The castle still preserves original medieval defense features such as arrow slits and a working drawbridge mechanism. These elements reveal how seriously builders took their security and what techniques they employed.
