Burg Rieneck, Medieval castle in Rieneck, Germany.
The stone fortress stands above Rieneck town with a dominant thick tower reaching 19 meters in height and displaying an irregular seven-sided shape.
Built around 1150 by Count Ludwig I of Loon and Rieneck, the castle received recognition in 1188 through a treaty between Emperor Frederick I and King Alfonso VIII.
The castle maintains a Romanesque chapel within its walls, offering views across the forested hills of Spessart and Rhön regions.
The castle functions as an international education center managed by the Association of Christian Scouts, providing accommodation and meeting spaces for youth groups.
The fortress includes specific architectural elements such as the absence of ground-level entrances in its main tower, requiring access through upper floors.
