Burgruine Altenschönegg
Burgruine Altenschönegg, Medieval castle ruin in Oberschönegg, Germany.
The square tower of Burgruine Altenschönegg stands 30 meters tall, constructed with brick walls above a base of natural stone blocks.
First mentioned in 1220, the castle belonged to the Lords of Schönegg and underwent multiple destructions, including attacks in 1281 by King Rudolf of Habsburg.
The structure represents medieval defensive architecture in Bavaria and includes the remains of the St. Burkard castle chapel within its grounds.
The tower functions as an observation point, providing visitors access to panoramic views of the surrounding Bavarian countryside from its elevated position.
In 1809, Prince Anselm Maria Fugger von Babenhausen purchased the tower and transformed it into a public viewpoint, naming it the Roman Tower.
