Om museet

Altnußberg Castle near Geiersthal was probably built between 1174 and 1194 by the Nußberger, ministerials of the Counts of Bogen. It later passed via the Wittelsbachs to the Degenbergs. In the 15th century, Hans von Degenberg rose to the rank of imperial baron and played a leading role in the Böcklerbund (Böckler League) against the Bavarian dukes.

After the league's defeat, the castle's commander handed the complex over to the troops of Duke Albrecht IV in January 1469 without a fight; they razed it completely. For around 500 years it then lay hidden.

From 1983, the ruin was uncovered on the initiative of then-mayor Ludwig Hilmer, archaeologically investigated until 1999 and partly rebuilt; the five-sided keep stands again at its full height. In 1985 the friends' association was founded to look after the site. Part of the excavation finds is displayed in the castle museum, including everyday objects, weapon parts, jugs and stove tiles.
