Burg Haag

Burg Haag is a medieval fortress in the Bavarian municipality of Haag in Oberbayern, built with a ring wall, tower gate, and outer defensive area. The site sits along Maria-Ward-Straße and includes the remains of a zwinger system that once strengthened the fortification.

The fortress emerged during the medieval period as a defensive structure featuring architectural elements typical of Bavarian military construction of that era. It played a role in regional control and protection of the territory during the medieval time.

The name originates from its hilltop location, and today it serves as a reminder of the region's medieval past that people in the area hold in their memory. Visitors can observe how the structure relates to its surroundings and understand why this spot was once strategically important.

The grounds are accessible from outside, though the historical structure itself is not wheelchair accessible and requires careful planning when visiting. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and be aware that access to some areas may be limited due to the layout.

The grounds hold both archaeological remains and a preserved zwinger system next to the main tower, showing defensive techniques of the medieval period. This combination of fortification elements allows visitors to see the layers of medieval defensive planning on the spot.
