Burg Langenegg, Medieval castle ruins in Martinszell, Germany.

The rectangular stone keep of Burg Langenegg stands on a forested hill within a loop of the Iller River in Waltenhofen district.

Built around 1250, the castle served as the seat of three noble families until 1647 when it transferred to the Prince-Abbot of Kempten.

The structure became a poorhouse in 1734, notable for housing Anna Schwegelin, who faced prosecution in Germany's last witch trial.

The castle remains can be reached via a small road from Thanners, though visitors should wear appropriate footwear for the narrow path.

The tower walls, measuring 1.3 to 2 meters thick, were constructed using nagelfluh rock fragments and underwent restoration between 2001 and 2004.
