Lubgast Castle near Ligist

VR glasses compatible (e.g. Quest 3)

Lubgast or Ligist Castle - built around 1200 and more or less a ruin by 1820 at the latest. A very good detailed description of the history, construction history and the building itself can be found on Wikipedia and on Martin Aigner's very good website (burgenseite.com). And if you activate the info symbol in the tour.
The current roof of the five-storey residential tower was built in 1975. The complex is freely accessible - but access to the upper part of the residential tower is a little difficult. The complex is definitely worth a visit - small but nice.

Village Ligist and the Lubgast ruins around 1880. Some roof parts are still preserved.
Veste Lubgast around 1680 after Georg Matthäus Vischer. The roundel, which was added quite late around 1600, and the large fireplace are striking. It is said that this once belonged to an alchemist's kitchen in which they tried to produce gold.

Help for the tour

The virtual tour is best experienced in full screen (double click on the image or click on the button at the bottom right), on a large PC monitor with headphones or speakers. Simple reconstructions of the former building structure become visible under the mouse cursor (or when touching the touchscreen). Small details are pointed out using information symbols.
At the top right, an orientation plan and/or a map can be activated, at the right edge the music can be set to mute, a compass can be hidden or shown and switched to English.
If you activate the home button at the top of the screen, you get to the aerial photo/overview and back again.
The tour, like all the others, can be experienced with VR glasses such as a Quest 3. Without additional software – simply enter the URL of this page in the browser of the glasses, activate the VR button that is then visible there – done.
