Burg Degenberg, Medieval castle ruins in Schwarzach, Germany
Stone remains of fortified castle spread across the southern ridge of Degenberg mountain, reaching heights between 560 and 595 meters above sea level.
First mentioned in 1186 through Hugo de Tegernberch, the castle served as ancestral seat of Degenberg nobles until its destruction during the Böckler War in 1469.
The castle complex included Saint George Chapel with Romanesque and Gothic elements, which remained standing until its demolition in 1809.
The castle ruins are accessible free of charge, with five dedicated parking spaces available for visitors at the base of the mountain.
After the castle's destruction, the Degenberg family signed an agreement in 1473 never to rebuild any fortification on this mountain again.
