Burg Siegenstein, Medieval castle ruin in Wald, Bavaria, Germany
The fortress sits on a 546-meter granite hill, featuring remnants of ancient walls constructed with granite blocks in its southern and northeastern sections.
The castle became part of the Regensburg burgraviate in 1255 when Duke Ludwig II of Bavaria acquired control of the fortification and surrounding territories.
The castle complex includes a 12th-century Romanesque church of Saint Aegidius, which belonged to the Schönfeld estate from the 14th century onwards.
The monument is registered under reference number D-3-72-169-13 in the Bavarian atlas, with protected status as both an architectural and ground monument.
The castle chapel, built in the 13th century east of the castle hill, displays both Romanesque and Gothic elements after its last exterior renovation in 1974.
