Schloss Karlstein, Medieval castle in Regenstauf, Germany

The quadrilateral castle complex features two stories, an interior courtyard, and a southern facade with battlements and polygonal turrets in neo-Gothic design.

The castle, documented in the 14th century, endured Swedish plundering in 1632 during the Thirty Years' War before undergoing neo-Gothic renovations in 1841.

The Saint Ulrich chapel in the southern wing contains burial sites of noble families Teuffel von Pirkensee and Hornbeck, with weekly Catholic services.

The castle grounds extend across 984 hectares and include outbuildings to the southwest, with the main entrance located on Schloßparkstraße 5.

Max Ulrich Graf von Drechsel, who opposed Nazi rule, spent his childhood at Schloss Karlstein, where a memorial now commemorates his resistance.
