Burg Chameregg, Medieval castle ruin in Cham, Germany
The remaining castle tower reaches a height of 22 meters with walls measuring three meters thick, displaying medieval construction techniques through its exposed structure.
Built in 1193 under the Diepoldinger dynasty, the castle served as part of the outer fortification ring around Cham until its decline in the late medieval period.
The castle grounds reveal the architectural preferences of medieval nobility through the design of its keep, which included four distinct floors connected by internal passages.
The path to the castle ruin starts at the inn 'Zum Ödenturm', located one kilometer east of Chammünster, with clear signage guiding visitors to the site.
The partially preserved tower provides an educational cross-section view of a high medieval keep, revealing internal room layouts and construction methods of the period.
