Burgruine Hohenberneck, Medieval castle ruin in Bad Berneck im Fichtelgebirge, Germany.
The stone walls and remaining structures of Hohenberneck Castle stand atop a hill, offering views across the Bayreuth district of Bavaria.
Constructed in 1478 by Veit von Wallenrode on the site of former Walpotenburg, the castle changed ownership multiple times before becoming an administrative center in 1501.
The castle ruins represent late Gothic architectural design, featuring defensive elements including two moats and a drawbridge system on its northern side.
Following restoration work completed in May 2023 with an investment of 1.2 million euros, visitors can access the site through marked hiking trails.
The castle entrance leads to a palas through an unusual passage system, demonstrating specific architectural adaptations to its hillside location.
