Burgruine, cultural heritage monument D-4-72-154-71 (0) in Hollfeld, Bavaria
The Burgruine is a castle ruin and archaeological site in Hollfeld, Bavaria, where stone walls and tower remains of the original fortress have survived. The foundations and layout reveal the former scale of the structure, which sits on a hilltop with views over the surrounding countryside.
The castle was built centuries ago to serve as a residence and defensive stronghold in the region. Over time it was abandoned and left to decay, though it now benefits from heritage protection status.
The ruin sits on the Krögelstein and has shaped the landscape around Hollfeld for centuries. This site remains woven into the local identity and the stories people tell about their region.
The site is open to walk through freely with paths winding between stones and overgrown remains. Visit in dry weather and wear suitable footwear because the ground is uneven and rough.
The exact role of the castle remains partly mysterious as different rulers controlled it over time. Local stories pass down accounts of battles and the lives of people who lived there before the site was eventually abandoned.
