Burgstall Eschenlohe, Medieval castle ruins in Eschenlohe, Germany
The remnants of Burgstall Eschenlohe include a main wall, two moats with wall traces, and foundation remains at 665 meters above sea level.
The counts of Eschenlohe constructed the castle in the mid-12th century, with its first documented mention in 1157 referencing Werinher de Eccillohe.
The site represents a significant example of German hillfort architecture, documented under heritage number D-1-8433-0006 in the Bavarian Atlas.
The archaeological site sits on the Burgstallberg, also known as Vestbühl, accessible through marked paths in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district of Bavaria.
The stones from the original castle were repurposed to construct the St. Nicholas Chapel, which now stands on the former castle hill.
