Stufenburg, Medieval castle ruins in Baunach, Germany.

The Stufenburg castle stands at 396 meters above sea level on the summit of Stiefenberg mountain, featuring a rectangular core structure and defensive trenches.

The castle, first documented in 1244, belonged to the Counts of Andechs-Meranien before its acquisition by the Bishopric of Bamberg in 1397.

The triple wall system on the western side of the castle provides evidence of early medieval construction techniques and regional defensive architecture.

The archaeological site lies two kilometers northwest of the Godelhof district of Baunach, accessible through marked hiking paths in Upper Franconia.

The castle's remains include foundations that suggest its role as a Hungarian-era fortress during the first half of the 10th century.
