Burgstall Kissing

Burgstall Kissing is a ruined castle in the town of Kissing in Bavaria. The remains sit on elevated ground and display features typical of medieval defensive structures with visible stone foundations.

The castle emerged during the medieval period as a defensive structure to protect the local population. It now forms part of a site that includes the nearby chapel and shapes the historical landscape of the region.

The monument represents medieval construction methods through its preserved foundations, contributing to the architectural understanding of Bavarian fortifications.

The site is reachable via Hörmannsberger Straße on a hillside with free access for visitors. Walking paths connect the ruins to the nearby chapel, making it easy to explore both locations during a visit.

The castle grounds share the hilltop with Kapelle Burgstallberg chapel, creating a dual historical site. This proximity allows visitors to explore both monuments in a single visit and understand how a single elevated location served both defensive and spiritual purposes.
