Burgstall Warberg, Archaeological castle ruins near Neunburg vorm Wald, Germany

Burgstall Warberg is a castle ruin situated on the Warenberg mountain near Neunburg vorm Wald. The structure once extended along a ridge overlooking the valley of the Ascha river below.

A countess named Adelheid donated the estate around 1138 to a monastery, marking the first documented mention of this place. After that, the fortification became connected to the history of local noble families.

The site is named after a medieval noble family who held power here. Today, the remains serve as a reminder of how people inhabited and used this fortress centuries ago.

The site lies 280 metres north of the hamlet of Warnberg, on the 567-metre Warenberg; the Ascha valley wraps around its west and north sides. The eastern approach crosses a saddle only a few metres below the castle ground, while the south side falls steeply. Excavations by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation between 1991 and 1993 uncovered several wall lines.

The castle site was excavated by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation between 1991 and 1993, revealing several wall courses. Finds from the dig are kept in the Schwarzachtaler Heimatmuseum in Neunburg vorm Wald.
