Schloss Steinfels, Church building in Mantel, Germany.

The fortified castle features a rounded archway entrance adorned with coats of arms and incorporates medieval elements into its 17th-century construction.

Originally established as a moated castle to protect the Steinfels ironworks, the structure gained prominence under the Mendel von Steinfels family from 1400 to 1624.

The castle chapel, built in 1707 and consecrated in 1723, contains wooden figures dating back to 1520, representing regional religious craftsmanship.

Located at coordinates 49.66299, 11.99426, the castle stands as a protected architectural monument under the Bavarian designation number D-3-74-134-20.

The first rector of Ingolstadt University, Christoph Mendel von Steinfels, who later became Bishop of Chiemsee from 1502 to 1508, resided at this castle.
