Burg Dießenstein, Medieval castle ruins above Ilz River in Saldenburg, Germany.

The fortification sits on a steep rocky elevation overlooking the Ilz River, featuring remaining walls and a deep protective trench around its perimeter.

Knight Schweiker II Tuschl von Söldenau and four family members constructed the castle in 1347 near the border of the Prince-Bishopric of Passau.

The castle's name originates from Middle High German 'diessen', meaning rushing water, referring to the sound of the Ilz River below.

Visitors reach the castle ruins through the Ilztalrunde hiking trail number 83, with access permitted during daylight hours under personal responsibility.

The original altar from the castle chapel survived the 1742 destruction and now stands in the choir of Saint Brigida Church.
