Burg Hof am Regen

The granite castle complex includes a three-story tower structure, a chapel with Gothic paintings, and a gatehouse overlooking the Regen valley.

The castle, first documented around 1150, served as the residence of the Hofer family who held important political positions for the Wittelsbachs.

The chapel contains the only preserved medieval wall paintings of any castle chapel in Upper Palatinate, featuring saints and vine motifs from 1470.

The information center in the gatehouse opens daily from May through October, with guided tours available for groups of ten or more people.

The castle structure incorporates a straight staircase within the thickness of its southern wall, leading to the upper defensive levels.
