History

[edit]

South of Rampelsberg there is the historic Schlossberg. This was when the Knights of Törring and the Archbishop of Salzburg allowed a castle to be built in 1210 . After fierce disputes between Kaspar Knights of Törring and Heinrich the Rich of Bavaria, the castle was, however, completely destroyed in 1421. The walls of the castle were pulled down and the stones of the ruined castle contributed to the expansion of Burghausen Castle. The site of the castle, and the moat can still be seen today by contours in the landscape.
