Burg Megling, Medieval castle ruins in Gars, Germany.
The rectangular residential tower of Burg Megling stands on elevated ground, constructed with tuff stone blocks and featuring a distinctive bay window.
The castle's origins trace back to 1123 when Count Cuno established it as a seat of power, exercising feudal rights over the monasteries of Au and Gars.
The architectural elements of Burg Megling, from its early 13th-century tower to its 16th-century modifications, reflect the evolution of German medieval construction methods.
The castle site contains two flattened moats and remains visible from the monastery of Au am Inn, despite the surrounding tree coverage.
The structure maintains its original high entrance within the tower, while incorporating smooth, regular blocks in its upper section from later architectural periods.
