Schloss Pirkensee, Castle and park in Maxhütte-Haidhof, Germany

The castle features four onion-shaped towers and stands as a two-story structure with a saddle roof in the Upper Palatinate region of Bavaria.

The property, first mentioned in 1062 as Perchinseo, burned down in 1632 and was rebuilt between 1731 and 1734 in Baroque style by Johann Bernhard von Francken.

The St. Anna chapel within the castle complex displays Rococo decorations and served as a parish church until a new one was built in Pirkensee.

Located just 15 minutes from Regensburg, the castle hosts various events including weddings, corporate gatherings, birthday celebrations, and medieval-themed dinners.

During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, the castle functioned as a military hospital and later housed refugees after World War II.
