This castle ruin belongs to the market town of Winzer, over which it also towers. Winzer belongs to the Deggendorf district and has little to do with the market town of Hofkirchen in the northern Passau district. Hofkirchen has Hilgartsberg Castle within its municipal area, which was largely destroyed in the War of Succession but is certainly worth a visit (despite the ugly empty wooden huts in the castle courtyard).
