Sengersberg Castle (Ruin)

The castle of Sengersberg was first documented in 1269, when it was owned by Bishop Leo of Regensburg and administered by episcopal ministerials. From 1326, the castle passed into the possession of the Bavarian dukes and was assigned to the Lengenfeld vice-dominate. Through the Treaty of Pavia in 1329, Sengersberg fell to the Palatine Wittelsbachs and from 1334 belonged to the territory of Count Palatine Ruprecht. Members of the episcopal ministerial family are still recorded at the castle until 1337. In 1343, the castle was granted as a fief to Calhoch Hofer zu Karlstein.

The Sengersberg ruin is located in Hagenau, a district of the market town of Falkenstein in the district of Cham, Bavaria, Germany. It is situated at an elevation of approximately 601 meters above sea level.
