Burg Kalden, Medieval castle ruins in Altusried, Germany
The remains of Burg Kalden stand on a hill 90 meters above the Iller River, with steep ravines providing natural defense on its western side.
Built in 1515 as Neu-Kalden to replace the original Alt-Kalden structure, the castle remained active until its abandonment in 1692 due to geological instability.
The castle represents the architectural traditions of Bavarian nobility, with its round tower constructed using local materials including pebbles, conglomerate, and sandstone.
The castle ruins, acquired by Altusried municipality in 1985, include a 6-meter diameter tower that underwent restoration work in 1977.
The site reveals geological layers of gravel, sand, and marl, demonstrating how natural erosion patterns affected medieval construction choices.
