Burg Saldenburg, Medieval castle in Saldenburg, Germany

The main residential building of Burg Saldenburg features a cube-shaped structure with a hipped roof and stone walls from 1368.

Heinrich Tuschl von Söldenau constructed Burg Saldenburg in 1368 to protect a trade route to Bohemia and serve as a border fortification.

The castle demonstrates the architectural evolution from medieval fortress to baroque residence through its 1682 transformation by Enrico Zuccalli.

The castle functions as a youth hostel managed by the German Youth Hostel Association of Bavaria and accepts visitors with prior reservations.

Local residents refer to the castle as 'Forest Lantern' due to the characteristic appearance of its main residential building.
