Burg Königsberg stands in Königsberg in Bayern (Landkreis Haßberge), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Burg Königsberg stands on a rocky spur above the town of Königsberg in Bayern, within the Haßberge nature park. Once a medieval imperial castle, the ruin has undergone extensive restoration and partial rebuilding since the 20th century, so that little original masonry remains beyond the stumps of two artillery bastions on the south side. Visitors today find an oval curtain wall largely refaced, a tall tower topped with a rebuilt timber-framed section, and a castle well once measured at eighty metres deep.

What to know

The castle can be reached on foot or by car, with parking available on site.
An inn with a beer garden operates at the site, alongside a small lookout tower.
Visiting the viewing tower and the castle well is possible for a voluntary donation to the local castle association.
The grounds, fairly level once you reach the top, also host events such as an annual rose and garden fair.
