Burg Wolfratshausen, Medieval castle ruins in Wolfratshausen, Germany.

The castle complex spans over 20,000 square meters on a steep bank of the Loisach River, featuring remnants of Gothic architecture and defensive walls.

Built in 1116 by the Counts of Wolfratshausen, the castle changed ownership between the Andechs and Wittelsbach families until its destruction by lightning in 1734.

The Saint Nicholas chapel, mentioned since the 14th century, served as a religious center for the medieval administrative seat of the region.

The castle ruins are accessible without restrictions through an entrance path near Cafe Biermühle, opposite to house number 40 on Untermarkt Street.

The castle grounds reveal a three-part structure with dry ditches, suggesting the medieval fortress was constructed within an existing early medieval installation.
