Can you visit the Schöllnach castle site?

No, nothing remains standing: the site was levelled in the 19th century and is now covered by houses.

Where exactly was this castle located?

In Schöllnach, Bavaria, east of the small Kleine Ohe stream, near the parish church of St. John the Baptist.

Since when is this place documented?

Schöllnach is first recorded in 865, though a fortification at this exact spot is only attested from the 14th century onward.

Why did the castle disappear?

After the last owner died without heirs in 1833, the fief reverted to the Bavarian crown and the now purposeless building was torn down.

Bodendenkmal in Schöllnach, #D-2-7245-0002 stands in Schöllnach (Landkreis Deggendorf), in Bavaria, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Schöllnach, in Lower Bavaria, the ground still holds the buried remains of a former moated castle that later became a manor house, now entirely vanished. Nothing stands above ground: the site, close to the parish church, was levelled in the 19th century and is now built over with residential housing. This is therefore an archaeological location rather than a visitable monument, with no standing structure to see.

What to know

No visible structure remains today; this is an archaeological site buried beneath houses.
The former site lies east of the centre of Schöllnach, near St. John the Baptist church.
There are no opening hours, fees or organised access, as the place is not set up for visitors.
The interest of this site is mainly historical and documentary rather than touristic.
