I haven't been in the Tirschenreuth Region for a long time. I regret this because it is really worth being visited.
There you will find conservation areas, forests, much history

This castle is one of the oldest ones in this region. It is still used - not as a fortification but as a place of living and for events.
The castle had ben conquered and badly damaged by the Swedes during the Thirty Years' War.
After that, the castle started to fall apart and stones had been taken away for other buildings until it has been protected as a historical monument.
A complete renovation was done between 1936 and 1939 by the duke "Friedrich Werner Graf von der Schulenburg". He never had a chance living in his castle, he was executed in 1944 because he worked against Adolf Hitler and his regime.
It was used during WW II by the Gestapo to keep selected prisoners.
