context_page_description: Numerous castles are found in the German state of Bavaria. These buildings, some of which have a history of over 1,000 years, were the setting for historical events, domains of famous personalities, and are still imposing structures to this day.
  This list encompasses castles described in German as Burg, Festung, Schloss and Palais/Palast. Many German castles after the Middle Ages were built mainly as royal or noble residences rather than as fortified buildings.
