The Burgruine Adelburg is what remains of a medieval hilltop stronghold, perched on the wooded summit of the Kellerberg, an isolated hill rising to around 610 metres near Seubersdorf in der Oberpfalz. Built in the second half of the 12th century by the lords of Adelburg, it passed through numerous hands, was fought over and destroyed several times, and was later stripped of much of its stone for the construction of a church in the 18th century. Visitors can still see sections of its bossed masonry walls, characteristic of Romanesque fortification, along with the outline of a former layout consisting of a core castle and two outer baileys.
