Burgruine Wolfstein, Medieval castle ruins near Landshut, Germany

The castle ruins stand at 450 meters above sea level on the southern slope of the Isar River, featuring three rectangular cellars and foundation walls.

In 1252, Konradin, the last male heir of the Staufer dynasty, was born at Burg Wolfstein before his execution in Naples at a young age.

The castle structure includes a farmhouse from 1800 that incorporates original castle walls and displays a memorial plaque commemorating Konradin's birthplace.

The archaeological site, designated as heritage monument D-2-7439-0066 by the Bavarian State Office, sits southwest of Niederaichbach in eastern Landshut.

Emperor Louis IV used the castle as a hunting lodge and gave it to his second wife as a dowry during the 14th century.
