Burgruine Hörtenberg, Medieval castle ruin in Pfaffenhofen, Austria.
The castle ruins contain a pentagonal central tower with pyramid-shaped roof and walls reaching 2.5 meters thick at their base.
First documented in 1239, the castle belonged to the Counts of Eschenlohe and served as the center of Hörtenberg County.
The castle chapel was dedicated to Saint Dionysius, a patron saint of the Carolingian dynasty, reflecting medieval religious practices.
The ruins remain accessible to visitors during summer months and accommodate various events throughout the season.
Archaeological excavations in 2004 revealed artifacts dating from the Bronze Age through the 16th century beneath the castle grounds.
