Burg Absberg, Medieval lowland castle in Absberg, Germany
The castle's remains stand on a mountain spur above the village, protected by a wide moat at coordinates 49.143594, 10.880036.
Knight Goswin von Absberg received permission from Emperor Charles IV to construct the castle in 1349, marking its official establishment.
The site represents medieval architectural elements of motte-and-bailey design, contributing to Bavaria's archaeological heritage research and documentation.
The archaeological site maintains visible terrain formations and ground remains, though no excavations have taken place at the location.
Hans Wandereisen's woodcut from 1523 captures the castle's destruction, depicting extensive fortifications and gatehouses engulfed in flames.
