Münchshofen Castle

Münchshofen Castle is one of the rare monuments in the Upper Palatinate that completely follows the Renaissance style. The obelisks and volutes were added at a later date. The complex forms a three-sided enclosed courtyard facing the Naab. Its floor plan has nine axes. On the rear side there is a smaller, three-sided arcaded courtyard. The steeply rising Münchshofen mountain here is two-storied with a retaining wall. In the center of the complex stands the clock tower with its double-flight open staircase. The castle is directly connected to the former castle chapel. A gate passage to the farmyard, remains of the surrounding wall, and a brick barn have been preserved.

Münchshofen Castle had at least one medieval predecessor building, of which at least one tower still existed in the 18th century, as a contemporary view shows. The year 1597 was carved into a door frame of the west wing. After damage in the Thirty Years' War, a renovation took place in the second half of the 17th century. The castle is privately owned (Anton Freiherr von Moreau) and can only be viewed from the outside.
