Burg Oybin, Mountain castle ruins in Upper Lusatia, Germany.
The stone remains of Burg Oybin stand at 514 meters elevation, featuring medieval walls integrated into natural sandstone rock formations in Saxony.
Emperor Charles IV transformed the 14th-century fortification into an imperial residence and established a Celestine monastery within its walls in 1364.
The ruins attracted German Romantic painters in the 19th century, who created numerous artworks depicting the castle's stone structures against mountain landscapes.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through marked hiking trails from Kurort Oybin village, with reduced entrance fees available through the schloesserlandCARD.
The castle complex sits at the intersection of three countries - Germany, Poland, and Czech Republic - offering views across international borders.
