Burg Schopflen, Medieval castle ruin in Reichenau, Germany.
The stone walls of Burg Schopflen stand 10 meters high and 2.5 meters thick, featuring arrow slits along their weathered surface.
Built in the 11th century by Reichenau abbots, the castle was reconstructed in 1312 by Abbot Diethelm von Castell before its destruction in 1366.
The fortress controlled access to Reichenau Island, serving as a defensive structure for the monastery until the Fisher War with Konstanz.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through Pirminstrasse on Reichenau Island, where a bird observation platform has been installed.
The castle originally stood as a water fortress, surrounded by Lake Constance until the construction of the Reichenau causeway in 1838.
