Burgruine Lobenstein, Medieval castle ruin in Bad Lobenstein, Germany.
The castle ruins stand on a hill at 539 meters elevation with remaining stone walls and a tower overlooking the surrounding landscape.
First documented in 1250 as a knight's residence, the fortress controlled traffic between Leipzig and Bamberg before declining after 1600.
The medieval fortress represents the architectural development of defensive structures in Thuringia during the Middle Ages through its stone construction methods.
The castle ruins offer guided tours with admission fees of 2.50 euros for adults and 1.50 euros for children between 6 and 14 years.
The preserved tower functions as a viewing platform, providing 360-degree views across the region from its 30-meter height above the old town.
