Burgruine Wolfsberg, Medieval castle ruin in Obertrubach, Germany

The stone remains of Wolfsberg Castle stand at 436 meters above the Trubach valley, featuring defensive walls and structural foundations from medieval times.

The castle originated around 1150 under the knights of Wolfsberg, with first written records mentioning Gozpold de Wolfesperch in documents from 1169.

The structure represents the architectural evolution of Bavarian nobility, transitioning through multiple noble families including the Lords of Stein and Egloffstein.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked hiking trails from the village of Wolfsberg, with connections to other historical sites in the area.

In 1823, the entire castle property was sold for merely 50 guilders to a local stonemason who later transferred it to his son-in-law.
