Burgstall Saalenstein, Medieval castle ruin in Landkreis Hof, Germany.
The castle remains sit on the steep bank of the Saale River, featuring visible foundations and a vault driven into the embankment.
Constructed in the 12th century, the site revealed bronze artifacts and Nuremberg pennies, indicating early settlement patterns in the region.
The fortress marked the boundary of Brandenburg-Kulmbach Margraviate in 1524, functioning as a strategic border control point along the Saale River.
The grounds, now in private ownership, include a restaurant and are enclosed by a locked gate, requiring advance arrangements for access.
The Autobahn 72 runs directly over the castle hill, with remaining stone walls and moat integrated into a garden landscape.
