Ruine Ebersberg

The castle ruins stand on a steep drumlin hill, rising 45 meters above the surrounding landscape with remaining foundation walls forming a rectangular layout.

The Lords of Ebersberg constructed this fortress in the 12th century, which was later sold to the Weissenau monastery in 1468 by Count Ulrich V of Montfort.

The ruins reveal medieval construction techniques through preserved rectangular walls and a square foundation in the northwest corner indicating a potential tower structure.

The site requires careful planning for visits as access may be restricted due to structural safety concerns, particularly since 2016 when collapse risks were identified.

The castle hill forms part of a protected landscape area established in 1954, covering five hectares and connecting to the Ebersberger Weiher nature reserve below.
