In the location's words:

The Veste Oberhaus, an impressive fortress with over 800 years of history, offers one of the largest preserved castle complexes in Europe on 65,000 m². From the Batterie Linde lookout point and a new tower, you can enjoy a magnificent view of Passau and the confluence of the Danube, Inn and Ilz rivers. The St. George's Chapel inside is particularly worth seeing with its unique frescoes on the legend of St. George.

Built in 1219 under Prince-Bishop Ulrich II, the castle long served as a symbol of episcopal power. It has housed the Oberhaus Museum since 1932 and offers a wide range of exhibitions on the town's history and culture.
