Burgruine Granegg, Medieval castle ruin in Egesheim, Germany.

The stone walls and remaining tower of Burgruine Granegg stand at 921 meters above sea level on Schlossfelsen, west of Egesheim in Baden-Württemberg.

First documented in 1102, the castle belonged to the Lords of Michelstein until 1305, suffered earthquake damage in 1356, and was destroyed by Rottweil forces in 1377.

The ruins represent medieval defensive architecture in the Swabian Jura region, with characteristic rubble stone and block quarry masonry construction methods.

The Swabian Alb Association maintains the castle ruins since 1931, ensuring structural preservation and public access to this historical monument.

The castle changed ownership multiple times, leading to its dual name Michelstein-Granegg, reflecting the influence of both the Michelstein lords and Ifflinger family.
