Altrathen Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Rathen, Germany.
The castle stands on a rock outcrop with stone walls and cellars built into the natural formation of Saxon Switzerland.
First documented in 1289, Altrathen Castle underwent reconstruction in 1893, transforming its medieval structure into a Neogothic design.
The castle structure reflects the architectural evolution from medieval defensive fortification to late 19th century leisure residence.
The former fortification now operates as a hotel and restaurant, offering accommodation and dining options to visitors.
The medieval spiral staircase in the keep remains intact, providing a direct connection to the original 11th-century construction.
