Bodendenkmal in Niedermurach, #D-3-6540-0036 stands in Niedermurach (Landkreis Schwandorf), in Bavaria, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

At Niedermurach in Bavaria, the ground preserves the buried remains of a manor house that no longer stands, first recorded as a noble seat in the Middle Ages. The building, which had replaced an earlier medieval castle, endured the Hussite raids and later the Thirty Years' War before being completely demolished in 1972. Nothing is visible above ground today, as the site is registered purely as an archaeological heritage feature.

What to know

  • No visible structure of the castle remains, the site having been completely demolished in 1972.
  • The location lies between the former Oberviechtacher Straße and the Brauhausgasse, northeast of the parish church of St. Martin.
  • The area is now built over and is not suited to a sightseeing visit in the usual sense.
  • There are no opening hours, fees or visitor facilities, since this is an archaeological trace rather than a standing monument.
