Schloss Griesbach stands in Bad Griesbach im Rottal (Landkreis Passau), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 19th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Griesbach stands in Bad Griesbach im Rottal on the site of a stronghold first recorded in 1076, which was destroyed and rebuilt several times over the centuries. What can be seen today dates largely from the early 19th century, after a fire in 1805 destroyed the earlier building and architect Franz Anton Glonner reconstructed it on the old foundations. The medieval towers and fortifications were not restored, replaced instead by two large administrative wings. Nearby stands the late Gothic St. Michael's church, once the castle chapel.

What to know

  • The Schloss now houses a local tax office branch and cannot be visited inside.
  • Visitors can still approach the building and see the nearby St. Michael's church, once the castle chapel.
  • This is a site to view from the outside, with no organized visitor tour.
  • No opening hours or admission fees are available, as the building is not set up for tourism.
