Burg Bogen, Medieval fortress ruins in Bogenberg, Germany
The archaeological remains include two rock-carved moats, defensive earthworks, and an outer bailey structure located at 365 meters above sea level.
The fortress was constructed around 1190 by Count Albert III of Bogen and served as one of the residences of the Bogen noble family.
The white and blue lozenges found in the Bavarian state coat of arms originate from the noble house of Bogen associated with this fortress.
The archaeological site contains visible structural elements from early, high, and late medieval periods, registered under reference D-2-7042-0002 in the Bavaria Atlas.
The fortress stands near Bavaria's oldest pilgrimage church, established in 1104, where a stone figure of the Virgin Mary reportedly floated upstream on the Danube.
