Burg Brattenstein, Medieval castle in Röttingen, Germany.

The fortress stands at the northeastern corner of the city wall, featuring a steel loggia that extends over the original fortification walls of Röttingen.

The castle, first documented in 1230, belonged to the Lords of Hohenlohe until 1345 when they sold it to the Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg.

The inner courtyard of Burg Brattenstein functions as the stage for the annual Franconian Festival, bringing theater performances to the medieval setting.

The viewing platform made of Corten steel provides visitors with an observation point over the roofs of Röttingen and the surrounding Tauber valley.

The east wing reconstruction integrates contemporary steel elements with medieval architecture, earning recognition through multiple Bavarian architecture awards in 2019.
