Burg Marsbach, Medieval fortress in Hofkirchen im Mühlkreis, Austria
The castle stands on a narrow terrace above the Danube River, featuring a three-story rectangular building with a round tower and southern wing.
First documented in 1075 as Morspah, the castle remained under the control of the Bishops of Passau until the territorial reorganization of 1803.
The Renaissance renovation by Bishop Urban between 1561 and 1598 transformed the structure into an administrative center for Passau's possessions in Mühlviertel.
The privately owned castle requires advance permission for visits, with public transportation available from the nearby town of Hofkirchen im Mühlkreis.
From its strategic position, the castle provides a direct view of the Danube River flow from Niederranna to the Schlögener river bend.
