Burgruine Reichenstein, Medieval castle ruins in Stadlern, Germany.

The remains of Burgruine Reichenstein stand at 874 meters above sea level on the summit of Reichenstein mountain in the Oberpfälzer forest region.

During the Husite conquest in 1431, the castle fell to invaders until Duke Johann von Neunburg successfully reclaimed it through a siege in September 1432.

The structure represents the medieval architectural traditions of Bavaria, featuring a circular bergfried tower and remaining wall sections from the original fortification.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through established hiking paths from Stadlern, with information panels providing details about the historical structure.

The castle belongs to Upper Palatinate, which contains the highest concentration of medieval fortifications in Germany, including nearby Frauenstein, Flossenbürg, and Leuchtenberg.
