Burgruine Praßberg, Medieval castle ruin near Wangen im Allgäu, Germany

The castle ruins feature a square layout measuring 9.80 by 9.70 meters with a tower reaching 6 meters in height and walls 3.15 meters thick.

The Abbey of St. Gall constructed Burgruine Praßberg in 1123, and it remained under various noble families until its abandonment in the early 19th century.

The site contained the St. George Chapel, documented in 1414, which survived until 1970 and represented local religious architectural traditions.

Visitors can reach the ruins through paths from the old Praßberg mill, with an elevation change of 40 meters during a 30-minute walk.

The castle tower maintains its original entrance at 6 meters above ground level, demonstrating medieval defensive architecture techniques.
