Burgruine Stockenfels
Burgruine Stockenfels, Castle ruin in Nittenau, Germany.
The castle remains stand on a 120-meter granite hill, featuring remnants of defensive walls, a residential tower, and outer fortifications overlooking the Regen Valley.
Built around 1340 during the reign of Duke Ludwig, the castle served as a center of power until its destruction during the Thirty Years War.
The castle incorporates specific architectural elements from the Middle Ages, including broken stone masonry and corner buckle quadrants in its residential tower.
The site maintains marked paths for visitors to explore the castle grounds, with informational panels explaining the different structural components throughout the complex.
Local tales tell of ghost brewers eternally climbing ladders at midnight, carrying water as punishment for diluting beer during their lifetimes.
