Weißenstein Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Regen, Germany.
The stone remains of Weißenstein Castle stand at 758 meters on a quartz ridge, featuring a square tower house and sections of defensive walls.
Built around 1100 by the counts of Bogen, the castle transferred to the Duke of Bavaria in 1242 after the extinction of the original dynasty.
The castle structure contains a museum exhibiting sacred art, flax production tools, and the literary works of poet Siegfried von Vegesack.
The ruins, acquired by the town of Regen in 1996, underwent extensive renovations between 1991 and 1995 to ensure safe public access.
A tower added in 1762 served as a granary for local tithes, while the adjacent Pfahl Nature Reserve protects the quartz-rich geological formations.
