Burgruine Tachenstein, Castle ruin in Riedenburg, Germany.
The castle remains include a 10-meter-high Bergfried tower with foundation dimensions of 7.5 by 7.5 meters on a ridge at 450 meters elevation.
First documented in 1189 with Friedrich de Tahenstein, the castle was built between 1170 and 1180 and later transferred to Bavarian dukes in 1329.
The medieval stone structure displays regional Buckelquader masonry techniques, representing the construction methods and architectural preferences of its time period.
The castle complex, located directly west of Riedenburg, sits within the Altmühltal Nature Park and maintains visible sections of its defensive moat and walls.
The structure underwent multiple ownership changes through marriages and territorial divisions among Bavarian nobility before the Bassus family acquired it in early 1700s.
