Schloss Burgtreswitz, Medieval castle in Moosbach, Germany

Schloss Burgtreswitz is a fortified residence with multiple wings arranged in Moosbach, Bavaria. The property features a central courtyard with a gatehouse on the north side topped by a hipped roof that marks the main entrance.

Treswitz is named in a 1232 charter, which mentions a "Pernold the Younger, son of Pernoldus von Draeswitz"; a 1255 document names "Siboto von Dreswitz" as witness. On 6 November 1272 Count Rapoto IV of Ortenburg-Murach sold his lands between the Danube and the Bohemian Forest, Treswitz among them, to Duke Ludwig II of the Wittelsbach family. Around 1280 the ducal urbar lists revenues from the castle and its dependent villages, and in 1304 Konrad II von Paulsdorf is recorded as first Pfleger.

The name Treswitz points to early Slavic settlement, as the suffix -witz does. The castle gave its name to the village of Burgtreswitz around it. From 1543 the Pflegamt Treswitz bore a coat of arms granted by Friedrich II, which is still the coat of arms of the market town of Moosbach today.

The castle stands in Burgtreswitz, a district of the market town Moosbach in the Upper Palatinate, at the foot of the old route toward Böhmischbruck. It is recorded as a Bavarian architectural monument under the number D-3-6440-0048, and the grounds are also listed as an archaeological site of medieval and early modern finds. Visitors reach the ensemble on foot through the village.
