To make a day of it
Burg Reschenstein stands in Passau (Passau), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Burg Reschenstein sits on a wooded spur looped by the Ilz river, close to the Hals district of Passau. First recorded in 1384 as an outpost of Burg Hals, this medieval stronghold fell into decline before being partly rebuilt in the early twentieth century by the founder of the Löwenbräu brewery in Passau. Only the square keep remains roofed and usable, while the rest of the complex survives as scattered ruins or has vanished altogether.
What to know
- The site sits on a wooded rocky spur, so it is reached on foot along a forest path.
- Only the square keep is roofed and fitted out, the rest of the complex survives only as ruins or has disappeared.
- The castle is privately owned, which may limit access to certain areas.
- No opening hours or admission fees are published, so it is worth checking locally before visiting.
- Its position above a loop of the Ilz river gives the walk a scenic setting in its own right.
