Burg Liebeneck stands in Greding (Landkreis Roth), in Bavaria, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Liebeneck was a small medieval noble stronghold, now vanished, that once stood above the Schwarzach valley near Greding, in the Landkreis Roth, Bavaria. Built by the von Absberg family and first documented in 1346, it consisted mainly of a residential tower surrounded by a trapezoidal enclosure wall. Only a stretch of masonry and a ditch remain today, on a terrace on the slope of the Pfaffenberg, close to the village of Mettendorf.

What to know

This is not a château open for visits in the usual sense, but a ruin site reduced to a few remnants of masonry and a ditch.
The site lies on a terrace halfway up the slope of the Pfaffenberg, so reaching it involves walking uphill.
There are no opening hours, fees, or visitor facilities, since no standing building remains to visit.
The location is close to the hamlet of Mettendorf, part of the municipality of Greding.
Several other medieval castle ruins can be found nearby for those wanting to extend the outing.
