Burg Bechthal, Castle ruin in Raitenbuch, Germany
The stone keep of Burg Bechthal stands on a ridge above the Anlauter Valley, with remains of defense walls and fortifications visible around the structure.
The castle first appeared in records in 1158 with the Lords of Bechthal, who served the Diocese of Eichstätt until the fortress changed ownership in 1352.
The medieval fortress contained multiple buildings including a tower, ring wall, bailey, two gate houses, and a chapel with four herb gardens in the outer bailey.
Located 500 meters southeast of Bechthal village, the ruins are open for visits with a parking area nearby, though exploration requires caution due to structural conditions.
The slender keep measures only 5.5 meters on each side, making it one of the smallest defensive towers of its type in the region.
