Hohenfreyberg Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Eisenberg, Germany.

The castle stands at 1041 meters elevation on a rocky ridge, forming a notable pair with neighboring Eisenberg Castle in the Bavarian Alps.

Friedrich von Freyberg constructed the fortification between 1418 and 1432, using limestone blocks from local quarries to create a traditional medieval stronghold.

The castle design reflected medieval architectural elements during a period when noble influence decreased while merchant class power increased in German society.

Visitors can access the castle ruins through Burgweg 50 in Eisenberg, with the nearby Burgenmuseum providing context about regional fortifications.

The Tyrolean government ordered the castle's burning in 1646 to prevent Swedish forces from capturing it, though the army never reached the location.
