Description

The castle ruin of Hals lies in the Passau district of Hals. The name Hals derives from the castle's position on the neck (Hals), that is, the tight loop of the Ilz. On a narrow rocky ridge above the village lie the remains of the once mighty spur castle. The complex is listed as an archaeological monument under file number D-2-7446-0197 in the Bayernatlas as “subsurface medieval and early modern findings and finds in the area of the Burgruine Hals”. It is likewise recorded under file number D-2-62-000-679 as an architectural monument of Hals.
