The Burgstall Achatzberg refers to the remains of a former hilltop fortification located on a prominent spur at 480 metres above sea level, near St Achatius church in Wasserburg am Inn. The site shows traces of settlement going back as far as the late Bronze Age and the Hallstatt period, long before a first fortified structure was raised there, likely in the eighth or ninth century, to serve as a refuge during Hungarian raids. The stronghold was later expanded during the High Middle Ages. Today only remnants of the surrounding circular earthworks remain visible.
