Burg, Grundmauern der Anlage in Hartenstein

The stone foundations of Burg Hartenstein stand at 528 meters above sea level, offering an overview of the Franconian countryside and forest landscape.

The castle structure, dating back to medieval times, served as a strategic defensive point for monitoring and controlling the surrounding territories of Hartenstein.

The castle grounds host regular educational programs where visitors learn about medieval architecture, defense systems, and daily life in historical Bavaria.

Guided tours of Burg Hartenstein operate from Wednesday through Sunday, with access to the inner courtyard and remaining structural elements of the fortification.
