Burgruine Haltenberg, Castle ruin and observation tower in Scheuring, Germany
The Haltenberg castle ruins feature a round keep constructed with large Nagelfluh blocks, reaching a height of 18 meters with 2-meter-thick walls.
The castle originated around 1260 when Konrad von Haldenberg, a ministerial of the Staufer dynasty, established the fortress on the banks of the Lech river.
The transformation of Haltenberg into a hunting lodge in 1612 under Duke Maximilian represents the shift from military fortification to noble leisure purposes.
Located between Scheuring and Kaufering, the castle ruins remain open to visitors, with the observation tower accessible on Sundays and public holidays.
The castle's defense system incorporates a double moat configuration, separating the structure from the high bank of the Lech river on three sides.
