Burg Parsberg

Parsberg, Germany, Germany

---

Burg Parsberg is a historic hilltop castle in Parsberg, Bavaria, and the ancestral seat of the noble Parsberg family.

First documented in 1205, the castle played an important role in the region’s medieval history and was rebuilt and expanded several times after suffering damage during conflicts in the 14th century. Over the centuries, the complex evolved into its present form, combining medieval fortifications with later residential buildings.

After serving administrative and judicial functions, parts of the castle were adapted for public use while preserving its historical character. Today, Burg Parsberg is one of the town’s most recognizable landmarks. It houses the Burgmuseum, which presents the history, culture, and geology of the region, while the castle grounds are used for events, exhibitions, and cultural activities.
