Near the village of Affalterthal in Upper Franconia, the Burgstall Altes Schloss marks the site of a medieval fortress erected during the High Middle Ages for the local nobility. Located within the municipality of Egloffstein in Forchheim county, this deserted castle site survives as an archaeological monument, its spur configuration still discernible across the landscape. Today the site remains freely accessible to visitors exploring Bavaria's medieval heritage.
