Burg Reschenstein, Medieval castle ruins in Passau, Germany

The castle remains include a rectangular tower situated on a forested ridge, encircled by the Ilz River near the Passau district of Hals.

First documented in 1384 as an outpost of Hals Castle, the structure later housed a bishop's caretaker before falling into disrepair in the early 16th century.

The site holds official recognition as both an architectural monument and an archaeological site, preserving medieval and early modern findings within its grounds.

While the main tower remains covered and accessible, other sections of the castle exist as ruins or have completely disappeared from the landscape.

Between 1816 and 1819, parts of the castle walls were repurposed for the construction of the Hals parish church, marking a transformation of local architecture.
