Burg Hattstein, Medieval castle ruins in Oberreifenberg, Germany.

The remnants of Burg Hattstein include fortification walls, military structures, and a residential tower situated on a wooded ridge in northern Sängelberg.

Built before 1156, the castle was first documented through the mention of Guntramus de Hazechenstein in the Walsdorfer founding papers.

The castle represents medieval German defensive architecture, featuring an inner bailey, outer bailey, and eight defensive bastions including a powder magazine.

Visitors can access the castle grounds through marked hiking trails from Weiltal, starting at the parking area on L3025 near Angelweiher.

The residential tower contained six floors with a distinctive long slit running through its structure, providing views across the upper Weil valley.
