Schloss

The stone fortification stands in the center of Kirchlauter, featuring defensive walls surrounded by a moat filled with water from nearby streams.

Built during the medieval period, this water castle served as a strategic stronghold for controlling trade routes through the Bavarian region.

The castle structure demonstrates traditional Bavarian defensive architecture with its combination of fortified walls and water-based protection systems.

Visitors can walk around the exterior perimeter of the castle grounds and observe the medieval defensive architecture throughout the year.

The water castle maintains its original moat system, which continues to channel water from local streams as it did during medieval times.
