Waldershof Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

Margit Bayer of the CSU has been in charge of Waldershof's town hall since May 2020. The town in northern Upper Palatinate, which belongs to the Tirschenreuth district, has a population of around 4,200. The political municipality has existed since 1818; before that, the castle and market belonged to the Waldsassen Abbey. In 1963, Waldershof was elevated to town status.

Waldershof Castle

Highlight • Castle

Waldershof Castle is privately owned. It can only be viewed from the outside. Probably built around 1100 as a moated castle (the builder is unknown), the castle stands on a basalt chimney on the outskirts of Waldershof, right next to the town hall. The current appearance only gives an incomplete impression of its original size and appearance. The mighty round building was a moated castle, which was surrounded to the south and west by the castle pond, which is now almost dry, and by the Kösseinebach. To the north, it was probably protected from attacks by ramparts. The mighty tower on the northeast corner, which was demolished in 1823, offered a wide view of the Waldershof valley. After secularization, the castle was declared state property on December 29, 1802 by Elector Max Josef of Bavaria, along with the Waldsassen monastery, which owned it for centuries, and used as the judge's residence. The state sold the castle on September 16, 1805.
