Hohenburg

The remaining stone walls and tower fragments of Hohenburg Castle stand on elevated ground, overlooking the Isar River valley near Lenggries.

The castle, first documented around 1100, served as a stronghold for different noble families until a devastating fire in 1707 during Austrian occupation.

Local historians and preservationists established a castle association in 2003 to maintain the historical structure and document its architectural features.

Visitors can explore the castle ruins through marked walking paths that lead to preserved sections of walls, ramparts, and a medieval well shaft.

The site became the first castle in Bavaria to receive complete geodetic documentation, resulting in an accurate virtual model between 2004 and 2006.
