Burg Alt-Laubenberg stands in Grünenbach (Landkreis Lindau), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 11th century. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Altlaubenberg is a ruined hilltop castle standing at 810 metres above sea level, about one kilometre south of the village of Grünenbach in Bavaria. Built in the early 12th century by the lords of Laubenberg as their ancestral seat, it suffered repeated destruction, by fire and later by insurgents during the German Peasants' War of 1525. Struck by lightning in 1719, it was never rebuilt, and only sections of wall remain visible today.

What to know

  • This is an open-air ruin reduced to wall fragments, with no covered building to visit.
  • Reaching the site requires a climb from Grünenbach up to the hilltop location.
  • There are no fixed opening hours or admission fees, as it is an unstaffed outdoor ruin.
  • The uneven terrain makes sturdy footwear advisable for the walk up.
