Burg Julbach, Archaeological castle ruins in Julbach, Germany.

The castle site contains two hilltop fortifications, including a shield wall and a moat carved into tuff stone foundations of a residential tower.

Built around 1140 for the Lords of Julbach, the castle was captured and destroyed during the Landshut War of Succession in August 1504.

The Burgfreunde zu Julbach association, founded in 2004 with 410 members, organizes historical reenactments, archery tournaments, and theater performances at the site.

The underground tunnel system extends 41 meters in length, while the southern hilltop features a well measuring approximately 20 meters in depth.

Multiple excavation campaigns between 2003 and 2013 revealed an extensive network of underground passages beneath the castle foundations.
