Burg Heimhof

Ursensollen, Germany, Germany

---

Burg Heimhof, also known as Schloss Heimhof, is a well-preserved medieval castle located in the village of Heimhof near Ursensollen in Bavaria.

Built in the 14th century by the Lords of Haimenhofen, it is considered one of the most important surviving castle monuments in the Upper Palatinate. The castle passed through the hands of several noble families, including the Ettenstätter, Notthafft, Ettling, and von Loefen families.

During the 16th and early 17th centuries it was transformed from a fortified medieval residence into a Renaissance-style castle, while retaining many of its defensive features. After falling into decline in the 19th century, the castle was extensively restored in the 20th century by the noted castle researcher Bodo Ebhardt and later conservationists.
