Schloss Geyern, Medieval castle in Bergen, Germany
The castle features a two-story structure with four corner towers and a central tower topped with battlements, constructed in neo-Gothic architectural style.
Originally built in the 12th century, the castle changed ownership in 1260 when Bavarian dukes captured it during a conflict with the imperial marshals.
The Schenken von Geyern family, who served as ministers to the Bishops of Eichstätt, maintained their residence in this castle for several generations.
The castle remains privately owned by the Schenken von Geyern descendants, limiting interior access but allowing exterior viewing from surrounding areas.
The structure incorporates parts of the medieval Bergfried within its 1870s construction, alongside an 18th-century bridge connecting different sections.
