Burgruine Altenheideck

Heideck, Germany, Germany

Burgruine Altenheideck is the site of a former medieval hilltop castle located near Heideck in Bavaria, Germany. Built in the late 12th century, it was the original seat of the noble Lords of Heideck, who are first recorded in historical documents in 1192. Around 1260 to 1270, the family moved their residence to a new and more strategically located castle nearby, leaving Altenheideck to decline. The abandoned fortress gradually fell into ruin and was later used as a source of building stone, leaving only a few remains of its walls and foundations. Today, the site is an archaeological monument and a local historical attraction. Visitors can explore the recovered castle grounds, view the remaining stone structures, and enjoy an observation platform that offers a glimpse into the region’s medieval past and surrounding landscape.
