Burg Heimhof, Medieval castle and archaeological site in Ursensollen, Germany.
The castle stands on a mountain spur in the Hausener Valley, featuring three-story buildings with hipped roofs and corner towers at its edges.
First documented in 1331, Burg Heimhof began as a fief from Kloster Kastl and underwent transformation into a palace during the 16th century.
The structure represents Upper Palatinate castle architecture and holds designation D-3-71-154-20 in the Bavarian monument protection registry.
The castle remains under private ownership by the Maier family since 1958, with restricted access to the general public.
A 22-meter deep courtyard well connects to an underground passage that provided escape routes during medieval sieges.
