Burg Parsberg, Medieval castle and archaeological site in Parsberg, Germany.

Burg Parsberg is a medieval stone castle perched on elevated ground above the town, containing multiple structures from different periods of its occupation. The complex includes defensive walls, residential buildings, a castle chapel, and various outbuildings that reflect both residential comfort and military function.

Burg Parsberg was first documented in 1205 as Castrum Bartesperch, seat of the Parsberg family. In 1315 Duke Ludwig of Bavaria destroyed the first castle after a short siege because Dietrich von Parsberg backed Ludwig's brother Rudolf I. The hilltop castle was rebuilt and expanded around 1450; a 1600 drawing already shows it much as it stands today. A Swedish destruction in 1632 is unconfirmed and considered unlikely.

The castle's lower section houses the Burgmuseum Parsberg, founded in 1981 when seven rooms were fitted out as a provisional display to convince the state office for non-state museums of the collection's quality. Since 1981/82 it has grown into a folklore and contemporary-history museum with a notable standing in Bavaria.

The castle stands at 550 m above sea level on the hill directly above Parsberg. The town administration moved out in 1980, and since 1981 the Lower Castle has housed the museum, which occupies seven rooms. The site is a protected Bavarian monument, recorded as D-3-73-151-52.

From the castle grounds, a hiking route connects to nearby caves and St. Wolfgang Pilgrimage Church, linking natural formations with religious sites. This pathway allows visitors to explore multiple layers of local history and landscape within a single connected journey.
