Historic Buildings

A multi-angled section of the Arnschwang moated castle, built of rubble stone, has been preserved. Its main areas date from the 15th and 16th centuries. Rubble-stone masonry is a wall made of irregularly shaped stones; the description therefore indicates not only the dating but also the material and appearance of the preserved section. Together, its preservation, masonry and age provide a distinctive historical feature of Arnschwang.

The Wirtshöhe in Arnschwang includes cellar structures dating from the 15th century. This period overlaps with the dating of the preserved section of the moated castle, whose main areas date from the 15th and 16th centuries. Both details matter for comparison: the Wirtshöhe is characterized by its cellars, while the castle section is distinguished by its form, material and dating, which also includes the 16th century.
