Schloss Aicha vorm Wald

The rectangular castle features Renaissance arcades forming an inner courtyard, with small outbuildings on its eastern side overlooking the Gaißa valley.

The castle's history dates to the 14th century when it belonged to the county of Hals, with the von der Pfeil family receiving it as a fief in 1360.

The addition of a chapel in 1776 by Baron von Schrecksleb on the upper floor reflects the religious significance of Bavarian nobility during that period.

Located at Am Schloß 1 in Aicha vorm Wald, the castle now functions as a guesthouse where visitors can stay overnight within its historical walls.

This structure stands as the only water castle in the Bavarian Forest region, combining Renaissance architecture with water fortification techniques.
