Schloss Eggersberg, Castle museum in Riedenburg, Germany.

The Schloss Eggersberg museum stands on a hill above the Altmühl Valley, featuring Renaissance architecture with corner towers and stepped gables.

The castle changed ownership multiple times since the 9th century, with the Wittelsbacher family lending it to vassals including the Wolfsteiners and Pappenheimers.

The Hofmark Museum collection presents exhibits about the de Bassus family, rural life, and numerous historical artifacts from the former castle administration.

Located 35 kilometers from Ingolstadt, the museum sits directly on the Altmühl Valley Panorama Trail and the 167-kilometer Altmühl Valley Cycle Path.

The area near Eggersberg yielded significant paleontological discoveries, including the smallest dinosaur in the world and the first primitive bird specimen.
