Burgruine Lobenstein, Medieval castle ruin in Zell, Germany

The remains of Burgruine Lobenstein include a large trapezoidal residential tower positioned at 565 meters above sea level on Zeller Castle Hill.

The castle experienced destruction during the Hussite Wars in 1428, followed by reconstruction, until Swedish troops destroyed it again in 1633.

The medieval architecture of the residential tower features a pointed window niche with benches on its west side, reflecting construction methods of its time.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a marked 600-meter path from the parking area at Gasthof Schwarzfischer in Zell.

A steel staircase leads to the upper floor, providing views across the hills of Vorderer Bayerischer Wald toward the Hoher Bogen and Arber mountains.
