Burgstall Kugelburg, Medieval castle ruins in Goldbach, Germany
The castle remains stand at 234 meters above sea level, with steep slopes facing the Aschaff valley and remnants of defensive walls.
The castle, dating from the early 12th century, controlled access from Aschaffenburg to Spessart region until its destruction in the late 13th century.
The Kugelnberger family, who owned the castle, founded Schmerlenbach Monastery in 1218 and maintained strong connections with the Goldbach parish church.
Archaeological excavations in 2018 uncovered sections of ring walls, pottery, animal bones, and coins from Mainz bishops at the site.
The medieval structure was replaced in 2012 by a fictional ruin called Kugelburgruine, constructed using stones claimed to be from the original castle.
