Schloss Bärnstein, Cultural heritage monument in Grafenau, Germany.
The castle stands on a granite promontory, rising 100 meters above the gorge of the Kleine Ohe river in Lower Bavaria region.
Built in the early 12th century by the nobles of Bernstein, the castle became property of the Counts of Hals in 1207 under their administrators.
The castle chapel, consecrated in 1389 by Johann Landgraf von Leuchtenberg, marks the religious significance of medieval Bavarian architecture.
The current building, constructed around 1890, operated as a guesthouse until the mid-1980s following renovations in the 1950s.
During the Austrian War of Succession, Franz von der Trenck occupied the castle, looted the surroundings, and set it on fire in 1742.
