Thurn Castle

Schloss Thurn, a building rich in history, stands in the heart of the city and has undergone numerous changes throughout the centuries. Its origins date back to the early 13th century, and it has served various purposes since then.

The history of Schloss Thurn is long and eventful:

• Erected in 1207 by the Counts of Moosburg on the remains of a castle destroyed in a city fire.
• From 1551 onwards, it was known as Schloss Thurn.
• At the end of the 19th century, it was rebuilt into its current form.
• Today, it is used by the District Court.

The current appearance of Schloss Thurn is largely shaped by the reconstruction at the end of the 19th century. It combines historical elements with the architectural styles of its time, giving it a unique character.

Today, Schloss Thurn serves as the seat of the District Court. This use ensures that the historic building remains a vibrant part of public life and continues to play an important role in the city.
