Castle Burg Trausnitz was the seat of the Wittelsbach family - the rulers of Bavaria - from 1255 to 1503. Trausnitz was not only a political centre but also a centre of Staufen culture. The castle is open to the public. 

Several minnesingers, including Walther von der Vogelweide and Tannhäuser, stayed at the castle. Included in the tour of the castle are medieval halls such as the impressive vaulted Old Knight's Hall and the castle chapel with its important sculptures and the winged altar-pieces of the Rich Dukes. The Renaissance is represented with vaulted cabinets, panelled rooms and the famous Fools' Staircase with its monumental scenes from the Italian Commedia dell'arte. The tour culminates with a view of the town from the tower terrace.

Trausnitz is also a venue for cultural, corporate and private events, such as concerts, meetings, receptions...
