Burg Kollnburg, Medieval castle ruin in Kollnburg, Germany

The castle ruins include an 8.2-meter diameter round tower and a 17-meter deep castle well on a hilltop at 660 meters above sea level.

First documented in 1153 as Chalnberch, the castle suffered extensive damage during the Bavarian Forest Knights uprising against Duke Albert IV in 1468.

The round tower of the castle was transformed into an observation point in 1912 by the Viechtach Forest Association, maintaining its connection with local heritage.

The ruins stand near the parish church of Kollnburg municipality in the Regen district of Bavaria, with coordinates 49.0477°N, 12.8602°E.

Many surrounding houses incorporate stones from the original castle walls, integrating medieval building materials into modern structures.
