Grünwald Castle, Medieval castle in Grünwald, Germany.

The castle stands on a hill beside the Isar River, featuring an irregular rectangular layout with a protective moat and gate tower.

Construction of the current structure occurred between 1486 and 1487 under foreman Jörg Weikertshausen for Albert IV's wedding to Kunigunde of Austria.

The 1522 Grünwald Conference held at the castle marked the beginning of Counter-Reformation in Bavaria, shaping regional religious policies.

The Museum Grünwald, part of the Bavarian State Archaeological Collection, operates within the castle walls since 1979, displaying regional artifacts.

The castle's main tower remains intact despite substantial demolition in the 17th century when the Isar River eroded its foundation hill.
