Burgtreswitz, Castle heritage site in Moosbach, Germany
The stone fortress stands at 505 meters elevation in the Upper Palatinate region, featuring traditional Bavarian architectural elements and defensive structures.
First documented in 1218 with Knight Pernoldus von Draeswitz, the castle transferred to Wittelsbach ownership in 1272 and suffered destruction during the Thirty Years' War.
The castle houses a local heritage museum, hunting and fishing exhibitions, and an information center about the Northern Upper Palatinate Forest Nature Park.
The castle grounds serve as a venue for outdoor theater performances during summer months and maintain regular opening hours for museum visits.
Local volunteers have contributed more than 30,000 hours of unpaid work since 1985 to preserve and restore the medieval structure.
