Ruine Lichtenstein, Medieval castle ruin in Neufra, Germany.

The Ruine Lichtenstein consists of two distinct sections: Vorderlichtenstein at 845 meters elevation and Hinterlichtenstein at 849.5 meters above sea level.

The castle's construction occurred between 1150 and 1180, serving as the residence of the Lords of Lichtenstein from 1332 to 1447.

The preservation society Verein zum Erhalt der Ruine Lichtenstein, formed in 1996, demonstrates the local commitment to maintaining German medieval heritage.

The ruins feature an accessible inner courtyard with informational panels and a swivel grill, while multiple hiking trails connect to the site.

The castle complex divides into Vorderlichtenstein, also known as Bubenhofen, and Hinterlichtenstein, each offering different structural remains for exploration.
