Veste Oberhaus, Medieval fortress on St. Georgsberg mountain, Passau, Germany
The fortress contains multiple courtyards, defensive walls, towers, and buildings spread across different levels of the hilltop overlooking three rivers.
Prince-bishop Ulrich II established this fortress in 1219 at the site of an existing chapel, creating a stronghold against both external threats and local citizens.
The Oberhausmuseum presents exhibits about Eastern Bavaria, featuring collections of historical artifacts, regional art, and a dedicated firefighting section.
The fortress museum opens from March through November, with regular hours from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays and 10 AM to 6 PM on weekends.
Between 1535 and 1540, Protestant Anabaptist prisoners in the fortress dungeons created the Ausbund, a significant religious hymnal.
