Klosterburg Kastl, Architectural heritage monument in Kastl, Bavaria, Germany.
The Klosterburg Kastl stands on a dolomite hill above the Lauterach Valley, featuring remaining walls within several buildings and the enclosure.
Founded in the Carolingian period, the castle became a Benedictine monastery in 1102 through an agreement between three noble owners and papal confirmation.
The structure evolved from a defensive fortress to a religious center, later serving as a Hungarian gymnasium from 1958 to 2007.
Since 2023, the building functions as a public service college for police training after extensive renovations and modifications to the structure.
Three medieval owners jointly decided to transform their shared castle into a monastery between 1098 and 1102, marking an unusual collaborative conversion.
