Schloss Wald an der Alz, Medieval château in Garching an der Alz, Germany

The château consists of two baroque wings built upon medieval foundations, situated on an elevated position with a wide moat at its entrance point.

First mentioned in 1240, the castle belonged to the Lords of Wald until 1505, when Duke Frederick acquired it during the War of Landshut Succession.

The former castle chapel of St. Erasmus, dating from 1479, features baroque modifications from 1680 and classical architectural elements added in 1837.

The castle remains in private ownership and closed to visitors, but the adjacent St. Erasmus chapel, now serving as a parish church, welcomes public access.

The structure maintains its original defensive moat, which visitors cross via a bridge to reach the main entrance of the château complex.
