Burg Neunußberg

The castle remains include a residential tower standing 25 meters high with five stories of stonework and a chapel dedicated to Saint Michael from 1350.

Constructed around 1340 by Konrad von Nußberg, the castle served as a stronghold until 1564 when lightning caused substantial damage, leading to its abandonment.

The castle chapel contains baroque architectural elements, featuring a small tower with a bulbous dome and religious artworks from different periods.

Visitors can access the tower crown through a wooden staircase, while information boards throughout the site explain the historical context of the structure.

Since 1968, the castle grounds host annual festival performances that recreate the historical events of the 1468 Böckler revolt against Bavarian authority.
