Tips from the Community

Udo 🐬
April 26, 2026, Ruins of Wasserschloss Oberbürg

In August 1943, air raids destroy a once significant manor house in Nuremberg's Lauf am Holz district: Schloss Oberbürg, of which today, when passing the two flanking towers at the entrance, only the farmyard enclosed by three building wings of the formerly three-part castle complex is preserved. A ruin densely overgrown with greenery. Of the four-winged main castle, secured by a moat and the arm of the Pegnitz, with round towers at the corners, only the remaining walls bear witness and recall a long-gone era.

The mill was first mentioned in a document in 1541. What’s special about it is that it was in commercial operation until 1988 – for over 440 years! It is one of the last originally preserved grinding mills in Bavaria that is still fully functional.
