Schloss Oberwinzer

Schloss Oberwinzer is a medieval castle ruin on elevated terrain in Winzer with stone walls and foundations still visible today. The remains display typical medieval construction methods with varying stone sizes and clear traces of earlier fortification structures.

The castle was founded in the medieval period and served nobles as both a residence and fortified stronghold in the region. Gradual decay over centuries led to its current state as a ruin.

The ruins of Schloss Oberwinzer represent an important example of medieval Bavarian architecture and contribute to the regional understanding of fortification methods.

Access to the castle ruins follows marked paths near Höllgasse and Burgweg, where informational signs explain the history and construction. Visitors should wear appropriate shoes since the terrain is uneven and paths may have varying conditions depending on the season.

The ruin remains an active research site for archaeologists who continuously uncover new details about medieval construction and life at this location. Such ongoing investigations make the site a living example of modern archaeological work.
