Burg Tittmoning, Medieval castle in Tittmoning, Germany
Burg Tittmoning is a medieval castle set on a hill above the town of Tittmoning in Bavaria, with thick stone walls, several courtyards, and narrow internal passages. Parts of the buildings now serve as museum rooms, while the overall structure retains its original stone and timber character.
Archbishop Eberhard II of Salzburg had the castle built in 1234 to strengthen his control over the nearby town of Burghausen. It held that strategic role for several centuries, sitting at a border between competing powers.
The Museum Rupertiwinkel, housed inside the castle, displays traditional clothing, woodwork, and religious objects from the surrounding region. The collection gives a clear sense of how everyday life was organized in this part of Bavaria.
The castle is open from May through October, with guided tours available at set times during that period. The hilltop location means visitors will encounter stairs and slopes throughout the site.
The castle holds Bavaria's largest collection of rifle targets, with the oldest pieces dating to 1600. Alongside this, a dedicated tanning museum documents the tools and techniques of a craft that was once widespread in the region.
