Burg Wetterfeld

Burg Wetterfeld is a ruined water castle dating from the medieval period in Roding. The standing gate tower of limestone dominates the site with its arrow slits and structural elements for defensive mechanisms.

The fortress was founded around 1118 by Gottfried von Wetterfeld and passed to the Wittelsbach dynasty in 1283. The complex survived multiple destructive conflicts over the following centuries.

The site reflects typical features of a medieval water castle with its stone fortifications and sluice system. Visitors can still recognize the structure that once served as a defensive stronghold for the region.

The castle ruins can be explored at no cost to visitors. Parking is available nearby at Freiherr-von-Schrenk-Straße in Roding.

The fortress complex originally divided into four independent building sections, with portions now incorporated into modern residential structures around the site. This blending of old ruins and contemporary buildings is clearly visible during a visit.
