Geyersburg, Castle ruin in Untermünkheim, Germany.

The Geyersburg castle features a three-story residential tower constructed from Muschelkalk stones, with walls measuring 1.5 meters in thickness.

Built in 1391 by the Feldner noble family of the Haller patriciate, the castle changed ownership to the city of Hall in 1406.

The castle structure combines military defense elements with residential features, including arrow-slit openings and rectangular windows with seating niches.

Located at 320 meters above sea level, the castle ruins can be accessed from the nearby community of Sülz, one kilometer to the southwest.

During the German Peasants' War in the 1520s, the castle, then known as Gartenheuslin, provided shelter for local peasants seeking refuge.
