Burgstall Steinbrünning stands in Saaldorf-Surheim (Landkreis Berchtesgadener Land), in Bavaria, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgstall Steinbrünning marks the site of a former moated castle at the heart of the hamlet of Steinbrünning, part of the municipality of Saaldorf-Surheim. It was built by the lords of Brünningen and first recorded in 1120. Only the mound and the circular moat that once surrounded it remain visible today, since the church of St. Johann Baptist was raised on the site in 1273, incorporating parts of the old castle walls into its own structure.

What to know

  • Only the mound and its circular moat survive from the castle, no standing castle buildings remain.
  • The site surrounds the church of St. Johann Baptist in Steinbrünning, which was built on the former castle grounds.
  • A visit amounts to a walk around the earthworks, with no visitor facilities on site.
  • No opening hours or admission fees apply, as this is an open-air archaeological remnant.
