Schloss Altenburg, Medieval castle in Feldkirchen-Westerham, Germany
The castle complex spans multiple floors with distinct architectural elements, incorporating towers, defensive walls, and residential quarters dating from different periods.
The castle foundations were established in the 12th century under Emperor Frederick Barbarossa as part of a network of imperial fortifications in Bavaria.
The castle museum exhibits collections of historical artifacts, including weapons from the former ducal armory and East Asian porcelain pieces from various periods.
The castle opens daily from April to October, with guided tours available in German and English that cover the medieval defensive structures.
The castle features a preserved 12th-century Hausmannsturm tower, constructed without internal floors to facilitate the movement of medieval artillery.
