Burgruine Marstetten, Medieval castle ruin in Aitrach, Germany.

The castle remains stand on Burghalde hill at 657 meters above sea level, overlooking the Iller Valley near the L314 road.

Built in the 11th century by the Ursin-Ronsberg margraves, the castle was destroyed by Swedish forces during the Thirty Years War.

The inner courtyard of Marstetten Castle hosts an annual medieval festival where visitors experience traditional crafts and customs.

The ruins are accessible from the parking lot on the road to Bad Wurzach, approximately 400 meters past Aitrach.

The castle's name originates from its function as a boundary marker between two districts, dating back to the year 838.
