The Parsberg Castle is a hilltop castle located on a limestone spur in the city center of Parsberg in the district of Neumarkt in Upper Palatinate, Bavaria. The complex has a long construction history that dates back to the 13th century. The castle museum, located in the lower castle, presents the history of the region and geological developments on an area of about 1200 m². The regional cultural-historical life of the surroundings is illustrated by exhibits from crafts, textiles, sacred devotional objects, and regional art. An entire floor is dedicated to the topic “From Bismarck to Hitler”. Here, not only is the history of the German Reich from its foundation to the end of the Second World War told, but also the respective effects on the region are highlighted. The museum also offers individual children’s birthdays. With the first documented mention of the castle in 1205, the recorded history of the city of Parsberg also begins. Thus, Parsberg Castle is not only an extraordinary monument, but also a living testimony to Parsberg’s cultural-historical past, and this regional history is brought to life in the castle museum located there.
