Sightseeing and excursion
destinations The castle Rosenburg at Riedenburg in
the nature park Altmuhl River valley
The castle Rosenburg (about 8 km southeast of the 933-egge castle

probably built by the castle lords of Regensburg in the beginning of the 13th century. The
castle facility, whose core originates from the Middle-Ages, is amended by renaissance
buildings in the outer castle area. A famous jewel of the renaissance style is the gazebo,
which reaches through two stories, on the northern corner of the northeast wing. The inner
castle area is seperated from the back-country by a moat. The roman castle donjon takes in
the front part of the main castle. Worth seeing are also the mural paintings in the castle
chapel which originate from the time around the year 1560. Today, the castle Rosenburg
hosts a privately run falcon court with a hunting museum and a falconry museum. A visit of
the castle facility is only possible in combination with a visit of the falcon court.
