Alte Burg, Castle ruin in Oberhausen, Germany

The Alte Burg contains remnants of a western external wall spanning an area of approximately 100 by 50 meters in Bavaria.

The castle ruins date back to the late 10th century, with first documented mentions in 1007, followed by destruction in 1246 during the Meraner Fehde.

The site represents medieval German defensive architecture and demonstrates the influence of noble families such as the Wittelsbacher in regional development.

The archaeological site stands 2,500 meters northwest of Oberhausen Church and remains open for public exploration throughout the year.

The square-shaped Bergfried tower has been reconstructed to a height of 0.5 meters, marking the location of the original defensive structure.
