Burgstall Kraiburg, Medieval castle ruins in Kraiburg, Germany.

The archaeological site sits on Schlossberg hill at 445 meters above sea level, featuring the remaining foundations of a medieval fortress.

Count Engelbert II of Spanheim constructed the castle around 1100, establishing it as the seat of the Kraiburg county through marriage to Uta of Passau.

The archaeological site maintains protected status as a cultural heritage monument, preserving evidence of Bronze Age and medieval settlement patterns.

Visitors can access information about the castle's history through marked points near the St. Georg Chapel, which now stands at the former castle location.

The castle survived multiple conflicts until 1617, when only its keep remained standing, leading to its final abandonment when administrative offices relocated in 1754.
