Burg Eggersberg, Medieval castle ruins in Riedenburg, Germany

The stone remnants of Burg Eggersberg stand on a limestone cliff 440 meters above sea level, featuring sections of walls and a rounded moat.

First documented in 1326 as Feste Eggersberg, the castle suffered destruction during the Löwler War of 1491 and underwent final demolition in 1613.

The castle complex includes the foundations of the Heilig-Kreuz Chapel from 1736, marking the spiritual connection of medieval fortifications in Bavaria.

The archaeological site contains informational panels about the castle's history and offers views of the Altmühl Valley from its elevated position.

The foundation displays large, precisely cut stone blocks from the 12th century, indicating advanced construction methods used in early medieval German fortifications.
