Pilbis-Schloss stands in Siegenburg (Landkreis Kelheim), in Bavaria, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Pilbis-Schloss stands in Siegenburg, Bavaria, on a slight rise above the Kirchberg, close to the town's lower marketplace. The present building, with its two storeys, steep roof and bat-wing dormers, replaced a medieval castle that burned down in the 15th century. Around the main house survive farm buildings and stables from the 16th and 17th centuries, along with a two-arched bridge crossing the former moat.

What to know

  • The building has been privately owned for decades, which limits access to its interior.
  • The structure seen today dates from a 16th-century rebuilding on the site of a medieval fortress destroyed by fire.
  • A fire in the 1920s led to a partial restoration of the building.
  • The outbuildings, stable and the bridge over the former moat can be seen from the edges of the property without entering the grounds.
  • The site lies close to Siegenburg's lower marketplace, making it easy to find on foot.
