Burgruine Zangenstein
Burgruine Zangenstein, Castle ruin in Schwarzhofen, Germany.
The Zangenstein castle ruins stand on a granite cliff at 370 meters above sea level, overlooking the Schwarzach river in Bavaria.
In 1360, Palatine Count Ruprecht I granted Otto der Zenger von Schwarzeneck permission to construct the castle on a granite foundation.
The castle walls, palace remains, and castle gate demonstrate medieval construction techniques, while the baroque chapel dates from 1686.
The castle ruins remain in private ownership and require advance registration for visits, with access through an underground passage leading to a farm building.
Archaeological excavations near the castle rock revealed a 2800-year-old burial mound from the Hallstatt period, with artifacts displayed in Nabburg City Museum.
