Trausnitz Castle
Description
Trausnitz Castle is one of the best preserved castles in Bavaria. It was probably built by Waldthurn lords in the mid-13th century. Frederick the Fair, the Duke of Austria, was held 28 months as prison in Trausnitz after the battle against Ludwig of Bavaria in 1322.
After the fire of 1689 the new residential palace was built adjacent to the castle. The abandoned medieval castle was restored in the 20th century.
