Neuravensburg, Medieval castle ruins in Wangen im Allgäu, Germany
Neuravensburg consists of a stone keep perched at about 564 meters on a ridge above the Upper Argen valley. The tower and visible wall remnants show how medieval defensive structures were built and arranged.
The counts of Argengau built this castle in the late 12th century to command the surrounding lands. After damage during the Peasants' War in 1525, it was rebuilt in the early 17th century.
The name reflects medieval connections to the Allgäu region and its noble past. Visitors today experience it as a place where local history comes alive through the standing stone structures.
Access is by way of the Hagmühleweg path, and you can climb the keep's internal stairs to the top. The elevated position offers wide views across the surrounding landscape and valley below.
A local society established in 1987 has taken on the work of researching and maintaining the site. Their ongoing efforts have revealed much about how the castle originally looked and functioned.
