Burg Regis stands in Regis-Breitingen (Landkreis Leipzig), in Saxony, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Regis was a lowland fortress built in the Pleiße valley east of the present town of Regis-Breitingen, in the Landkreis Leipzig, Saxony. First recorded in 929 and later described in the 13th century as a castrum and oppidum, it is said to have hosted King Albrecht of Habsburg during the truce following the Battle of Lucka in 1307. Destroyed in 1382, the castle has left no visible remains today. Its former location now lies within an old section of the town cemetery.

What to know

No visible structure of the castle remains, the former site now lies within an old part of the Regis-Breitingen cemetery.
A visit therefore means locating the historical site rather than exploring an actual building.
There are no opening hours, fees or visitor facilities since no physical monument survives.
The interest of the place is mainly historical, linked to medieval records of the fortress and its supposed role in the events of 1307.
