Burg Kipfenberg, Medieval castle and archaeological site in Kipfenberg, Germany.
The castle structure includes a Romanesque keep, Gothic chapel, witch tower, and defensive walls positioned on a dolomite hill overlooking the Altmühltal region.
Built in the late 12th century, the castle belonged to the Kropf family until 1301 when it was sold to the Hochstift Eichstätt and survived both the Peasants' War and Thirty Years' War.
The Roman and Bajuwaren Museum within the castle's outer bailey presents exhibits about the region's ancient civilizations and medieval period development.
The castle opens from 10:00 to 16:00 during winter months and 10:00 to 18:00 from April through October, with a café offering refreshments to visitors.
Located at the geographical center of Bavaria, the castle underwent extensive restoration between 1914 and 1925 under the guidance of architect Bodo Ebhardt.
