Burgstall Roggenstein, Medieval castle ruins in Emmering, Germany

The castle remnants stand on a 550-meter-high forested moraine ridge called Emmeringer Leite, with St. Georg Chapel positioned at its eastern edge.

The first documented mention of the castle dates to the 14th century, and by 1371 records indicate the structure was already abandoned.

The St. Georg Chapel, built around 1400, contains medieval wall paintings depicting scenes from the Passion of Christ in the Upper Bavarian artistic style.

Visitors can observe the remaining six-meter-deep moat that separated the main castle area from the surrounding landscape.

An underground passage system, documented in 1840, exists within the castle hill, though its entrances are now sealed or buried.
