Schloß Münchshofen Schloß Münchshofen had at least one medieval predecessor, of which at least one tower still existed in the 18th century, as a contemporary view shows. The year 1597 is chiseled into a door frame of the west wing. After severe damage during the Thirty Years' War, the complex was extensively redesigned in the second half of the 17th century. Schloß Münchshofen is one of the rare Renaissance-style monuments in the Upper Palatinate. The obelisks and volutes were added later. The complex forms a courtyard closed on three sides towards the Naab. In its floor plan, it is nine bays long. On the rear side, there is a smaller, three-sided arcaded courtyard. The steeply rising Münchshofener Berg here is provided with a two-story retaining wall. In the center of the complex stands the clock tower with the two-flight external staircase. The castle is directly connected to the former castle chapel. A gate passage to the economy yard, remains of the surrounding wall, and a brick barn have been preserved. In 1868, the castle passed to Julie Anna Reichsfreiin von Aretin, who brought it into the family of Reichsgrafen von Armannsperg. In 1910, Freiherr Alexander von Moreau, Royal Bavarian Chamberlain and Government Councilor in Bad Kissingen, acquired it. His son Maximilian Freiherr von Moreau continued the legacy. Today, the castle is privately owned by Antonius Freiherr von Moreau. The castle is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside. An auction on September 27, 2011, was unsuccessful. Schloß Münchshofen is threatened by decay. Source: Excerpts from www.wikipedia.de

Saltendorf Pond covers approximately ten hectares and, as the name suggests, is located in Saltendorf, a district of Teublitz. The clubhouse of the Teublitz Fishing Club is also located here. As a former gravel pit lake, it is home to a healthy fish population: eels, pike, carp, perch, zander, tench, and various whitefish await enthusiastic anglers. The Teublitz Fishing Club expertly manages the lake; visitors can purchase 3-day and weekly permits for Saltendorf Pond, as well as other club-owned lakes. While the lake is no longer officially designated for swimming, on warm summer days, expect to see swimmers, stand-up paddleboarders, inflatable mattresses, and other recreational activities. A pleasant lawn with a playground invites visitors to relax, even without fishing. A footpath encircles the lake. Fishing is permitted from 5:00 a.m. to midnight; boats are prohibited.

The former castle is a late Gothic, three-story, gabled, eaves-facing house with a side-mounted bay window, dating from 1586 (marked). This building was constructed by Hans Melchior Sauerzapf. The two-story wing with a gable roof and profiled stone portal probably dates back to the 17th century. The former castle tavern adjoins the castle. In 1586, a bay-like extension was added to the castle. The castle is now privately owned. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Rohrbach_(Kallm%C3%BCnz)
