Burgruine Hofberg, Castle ruin in Greding, Germany.
The fortification includes a ring wall with five corner towers, a gatehouse, and remnants of St. George chapel from 1499.
Built in the early 13th century by the Lords of Mässing, the castle transferred to the Teutonic Order in 1285 after Berthold von Mässing died childless.
The castle served as a summer residence for Prince-Bishop Wilhelm, who reinforced its defenses with new walls and towers in 1490.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a hiking path with 200 steps starting from the center of Obermässing near the Grüner Baum restaurant.
The pentagon-shaped main castle area measures 74 by 60 meters, with the new ring wall constructed 8 to 10 meters outside the original structure.
