Castle Keppenbach, Medieval castle ruins in Freiamt, Germany.
The castle sits on a ridge at 455 meters above sea level, featuring remaining walls of 2.3 meters thick and 7.5 meters high.
Built between 1100 and 1275 by the Lords of Keppenbach, the castle was destroyed by Habsburg forces in 1396 and later during the Peasants' War in 1525.
The castle served to protect silver mining operations in Brettenbach Valley and housed knights who managed the surrounding mines and hunting grounds.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a forest path from Sägplatz village, with a 20-minute walk leading to the historical site.
Archaeological findings from the castle excavations are displayed at the Heimatmuseum Freiamt, including Romanesque relief stone plates discovered by forest workers.
