Burgruine, Medieval castle ruins in Partenstein, Germany.
The stone remains of Burg Bartenstein stand on a 240-meter hill, overlooking the meeting point of Lohr and Aubach rivers in Bavaria.
The Counts of Rieneck constructed this fortress around 1180 to monitor trade routes between Lohr and Wiesbütt, until Swedish troops captured it in 1626.
Archaeological excavations since 2003 have uncovered substantial sections of the castle walls, defensive structures, and entrance areas, revealing medieval construction techniques.
Visitors can reach the castle remains by following Am Schlossberg 9 in Partenstein, where information panels detail the findings from recent archaeological studies.
The castle's name derives from medieval German words 'Barte' meaning axe and 'Stein' meaning rock, reflected in Partenstein's coat of arms showing two halberds.
