Burg Marquartstein, Medieval castle in Marquartstein, Germany.

The fortified structure stands on elevated ground with thick stone walls, narrow windows, and defensive features characteristic of 11th-century architecture.

Built in 1075, the castle changed ownership through centuries until German art dealer Konrad Bernheimer purchased it in 1987 to house his art collection.

The castle represents the architectural evolution of Bavarian defensive structures and serves as a testament to medieval building techniques and regional traditions.

The castle contains 40 bedrooms and multiple halls, making it suitable for large-scale cultural events and historical exhibitions throughout the year.

The castle combines its status as an architectural heritage monument with active archaeological research, revealing new information about medieval fortification methods.
