Burg Gruttenstein, Medieval castle in Bad Reichenhall, Germany
The stone fortress stands on an elevation overlooking the city of Bad Reichenhall, featuring residential buildings and farm structures arranged around a central courtyard.
Duke Ludwig I of Wittelsbach ordered the construction of Gruttenstein Castle in 1218 to protect Bad Reichenhall and its valuable salt springs.
The castle serves as a venue for seasonal festivities including wine festivals, Easter markets, and special advent celebrations throughout the year.
Access to Gruttenstein Castle at Pfannhauserweg 3 requires participation in scheduled events, as the property maintains limited public access.
The structure lacks traditional towers, with its highest point being the shield wall that integrated into the former city fortifications.
