Burg Lupburg, Medieval castle ruin in Lupburg, Germany
Built upon a conical rock formation above the Black Laber Valley, Burg Lupburg consists of limestone blocks and rubble stones forming a horseshoe-shaped structure.
The castle's first documented mention dates to 1129 when the Imperial Prince and Burgrave of Regensburg granted it to nobleman Ludewicus de Loupurg.
The castle represents medieval Bavarian architecture with its ring wall, gate passage, and courtyard buildings that incorporate construction elements from the 12th century.
The castle grounds remain accessible throughout the year, with the eastern section offering a watchtower base and observation point overlooking the Bavarian Jura landscape.
The structure now serves as Lupburg's town hall, maintaining its central role in the community while preserving its medieval architectural features.
