Burg Elkofen, Medieval castle in Grafing, Germany

The castle complex includes a high tower, defensive walls, courtyards, and a chapel dedicated to Saint George from 1516.

The castle originated in the 11th century under the Counts of Sempt-Ebersberg and first appeared in records as Ellencophan in 1040.

The castle's Gothic chapel housed a valuable altar with carved figures, now displayed at the Bavarian National Museum in Munich.

The lower courtyard opens for visitors from Monday to Saturday, while castle tours are exclusively available for local schools.

The castle survived without major damage through centuries, maintaining its medieval structure through continuous care by the Rechberg family.
