In Weilheim in Oberbayern, within the Landkreis Weilheim-Schongau in Bavaria, stands a building erected on the site of a former Pflegschloss, now used as an annex of the local court after having served as a Rentamt. Nobles of Weilheim are documented here as early as the late 11th century, and from the early 16th century the site became the seat of the ducal bailiff. The present structure dates mainly from two building campaigns, the eastern section from 1857 and the western section from 1909, which largely replaced the earlier castle. What remains today is less a visible medieval castle than a place with a long administrative history.
