Burg Ebertshausen

The castle foundation reveals a rectangular structure measuring 33 by 22 meters with visible tower remnants and outer bailey sections at the site.

The initial fortification dates back to 700 CE, serving as a Roman watchtower before the Tegernsee monastery founders utilized it for military protection.

The site represents medieval defensive architecture in Bavaria, demonstrating the relationship between religious institutions and military structures during the Middle Ages.

Access to the archaeological site requires advance arrangements as the location sits within private property near the Kaltenbrunn estate grounds.

The fortress underwent a complete dismantling in 1468, with its stones repurposed for construction projects throughout the Tegernsee valley region.
