Burg Trostberg, Medieval castle ruins in Trostberg, Germany
The fortress stands on a 520-meter-high mountain spur on the left bank of the Alz River, featuring a round fortification tower and baroque chapel.
The Ortenburg-Kraiburg counts constructed the castle in the early 13th century, serving as a Wittelsbach administrative seat until 1803.
The Saint Michael chapel, constructed in 1624, combines baroque architecture with Gothic elements, representing the evolution of religious structures within German fortifications.
The northeastern section of the castle underwent demolition in 1810, with subsequent renovations in 1976 preserving the remaining structures for current visitors.
The castle's strategic position led to the establishment of Trostberg town between 1230 and 1240, making it the foundation point of the current municipality.
