Burgruine Beilstein, Medieval castle ruin in Jossgrund, Germany.
The castle ruins stand at 500 meters elevation, featuring remnants of square walls measuring 12 meters on each side with sections reaching 3 meters high.
First mentioned in documents from 1059, the castle protected northern territories of Aschaffenburg and Spessart before falling into disrepair by 1427.
The structure served as a judicial center for the Jossa Valley until 1571, when authorities transferred legal proceedings to Burgjoß.
A designated cultural cycling route called Perlen der Jossa passes beneath the castle, providing informational stations about the structure and surrounding environment.
The ruins and surrounding mountain area function as a winter habitat for protected European bat species, leading to its designation as a Fauna-Flora-Habitat.
