Castle Rothenstein, Hill castle ruins in Bad Grönenbach, Germany.
The stone remnants of Castle Rothenstein stand on an elevated position within the forests of Bavaria, offering views across the surrounding countryside.
Built in 1037, Castle Rothenstein changed ownership multiple times, passing from the Rothenstein family to the Pappenheim family in 1482, and finally to Kempten Abbey in 1692.
The castle represents medieval architectural techniques and defense strategies, serving as an example of hill fortifications in the Burgenregion Allgäu region.
Visitors need to follow established hiking trails to reach the castle site, which remains inaccessible to wheelchairs due to its hillside location.
The castle walls contain specific architectural elements from different centuries, revealing the various modifications made by its successive owners through the generations.
