Burgstall Luckenpaint stands in Thalmassing (Landkreis Regensburg), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Burgstall Luckenpaint marks the site of a medieval stronghold that has since vanished, located in the hamlet of Luckenpaint within the municipality of Thalmassing in Bavaria. First recorded in the ninth century through a donation to the St. Emmeram monastery in Regensburg, the fortification passed through several noble families before falling into ruin during the eighteenth century. Nothing of the original structure remains above ground except the chapel of St. Laurence, which retains Romanesque elements and once stood within the later manor's grounds. A visit here is more about tracing a vanished place than seeing standing walls.
