Schloss Wildthurn, Medieval castle in Landau an der Isar, Germany
Schloss Wildthurn is a castle in Landau an der Isar made up of several connected structures with two to three stories and a neo-Gothic east wing. The whole complex forms a cohesive group of buildings that have been modified over different periods.
The castle was first mentioned in records from the 1160s when it served as a stronghold for the Waller knights. Major rebuilding work in the 1500s changed how the structure looked and functioned.
The Catholic castle chapel, constructed in 1840, stands as a dedication to the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and received updates in 1911.
The castle is located in the town of Landau an der Isar and can be easily approached from surrounding streets. You can walk around the outside to see the building since it sits within the town's boundaries.
The tower room on the fourth floor has thirteen niches built into its walls that hint at its past use as a knights hall. These recesses suggest how the space once brought together the castle's residents and rulers.
