Burg Forstenberg, Medieval castle ruins in Regenstauf, Germany.
The remains of Burg Forstenberg include a pentagonal keep constructed from rubble stone masonry, standing at an elevation of 425 meters above sea level.
The castle, built in the 13th century by the Lords of Forstenberg, served as their ancestral seat until 1330 when Friedrich den Hofer acquired the property.
The architectural design of Burg Forstenberg represents the typical construction methods of ministerial families during the High Middle Ages in Bavaria.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by taking the B15 from Regensburg to Ramspau, then following the uphill path toward Karlstein near a forest pond.
The castle features a gorge-like neck ditch that spans five meters in depth, separating the main fortress from its larger outer ward structure.
