Bärnfels Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Obertrubach, Germany.
The stone remains of Bärnfels Castle stand at 515 meters above sea level on a hillspur named Bergschmidtsknock in southern Bavaria.
Built around 1330, Bärnfels Castle belonged to the Egloffstein family until 1580 when they sold it to the Bishopric of Bamberg.
The castle ruins represent medieval German architecture and demonstrate the defensive fortification techniques used by nobility in the 14th century.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following the marked hiking trails and climbing the stone steps from the village of Bärnfels.
The castle returned to the original Egloffstein family's ownership in modern times, creating a direct link spanning seven centuries of history.
