Kürn Castle The castle was built by the Lords of Kürn, who had their ancestral seat there. The nobles of Kürn were first mentioned in 1197, and a "castrum dictum Churn" in 1299. After selling the castle and the Kürn lordship to the Paulsdorfers in 1394, the Lords of Kürn moved their seat to Kürnberg Castle near Stamsried, where Hans Kürner is mentioned in 1422 as the last Kürnberger. The Dukes of Bavaria were later to own Kürn Castle in 1623 and the Stingelheim family from 1642 onwards. The castle burned down in 1825, so the castle was rebuilt in classicist style from 1826 onwards. It has been owned by the Counts of Walderdorff since 1830. The castle is a two-storey, simple, classicist four-wing structure with hipped roofs, nine window axes, a gabled central projection and plasterwork. The core of the structure dates back to 1698. The large natural park on a south-western slope includes natural granite blocks and has a rich beech population. Today, only the moat is recognizable from the old medieval castle complex.

Unfortunately, you can only reach the summit cross from Keilberg. So you cannot climb up to the summit cross. Nevertheless, the walk here is worthwhile, as you have a very good view of the whole of Regensburg.
