Vilseck Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The place on the Vils is a garrison town of the US Army located directly at the Grafenwoehr military training area. Mentioned for the first time in the 10th century, there are many historical sites in Vilseck. King Gustav Adolf of Sweden stayed in the Wünnenberghaus on the market square in 1632.

Dagestein Castle

Highlight • Castle

The beginnings of the castle, which can be recorded for the first time at the end of the 12th century, are unclear. Archaeological investigations inside the castle complex have so far not produced any concrete indications for an early medieval foundation of the complex.

Vilseck was first mentioned in a document in 1185 as part of the holdings of the Bamberg bishopric. In 1205 a Megelaus von Dagestein was named in a document, and after the Dagestein family died out, the lords of the castle named themselves after the emerging town of Vilseck. The castle was expanded into a moated castle in the 15th century. During the feud between Götz von Berlichingen (knight with the iron hand) and the Bamberg bishop it was looted and pillaged in 1512, but then rebuilt. In 1552 the complex, which was now mainly used as a granary and prison, was conquered by Margrave Albrecht Alcibiades of Bayreuth. Extensive new buildings took place around 1730, and in the course of secularization, parts of the castle were sold to Vilseck citizens in 1802. In the years 1796/97 the robber captain Franz Troglauer was imprisoned in the castle for a few months. Today it is owned by the city, and extensive renovations were carried out on the keep from 1999 to 2002.

St Mary's Catholic Parish Church (Seugast)

Highlight • Religious Site

On September 14, 1903, the construction of the St. Maria village chapel began; the inauguration took place on July 3, 1904 by Father Meinrad Plank and pastor Jakob Meier. On September 4, 1904, the temporary altar was replaced by an altar in the neo-Gothic style. The altar was made by master carpenter Franz Ringer from Vilseck. In 1928 the chapel was expanded into a church for the first time. Among other things, the church got a tower. In 1958 and 1959 the church was extended by another transept. The altar from 1904 was replaced by a new one. The church received its current form. In 1986 the church was renovated inside and out. It is one of three churches in Bavaria that do not belong to the church but to the community. The village chapel is listed in the list of monuments under the number D-3-71-121-23.

Vilstal Cycle Path between Freihungsand and Triebweg

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Vilstal cycle path runs along the river of the same name from the source in Kleinschönbrunn to the confluence with the Naab in Kallmünz. The section is a beautiful bike path that leads through forests and meadows.
