To make a day of it
Schloss Söldenau stands in Ortenburg (Landkreis Passau), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 14th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Schloss Söldenau stands in the Söldenau district of Ortenburg, built on the remains of a medieval moated castle. First documented in 1323 under the knights of Tuschl, the present building forms a four-winged Renaissance structure around an older medieval core, with forty-five rooms spread over roughly 2000 square metres. Now privately owned, the castle remains associated with a brewery established in its outbuildings in the late 16th century, whose name still appears on local beer labels. The former moats that once surrounded it have been filled in and partly serve as a car park today.
