Donaustauf Castle (German: Burgruine Donaustauf) is a ruined hill castle located at a height of 424 m above sea level (NN) on a hill spur overlooking the River Danube by the market village of Donaustauf in the Upper Palatine county of Regensburg in the south German state of Bavaria. Donaustauf grew up during the Middle Ages under the protection of the mighty fortifications of the castle.

Since 6 April 1986 the castle ruins have belonged to Donaustauf and, from 1997, the municipality had the castle made safe and renovated it.

History

The castle is built on the site of a Celtic fort of unknown size and importance dating to around 500 BC. Based on excavations in 1981 of the northeast side of the lower outer bailey it appears to date to the late Hallstatt period.

Between 914 and 930 AD, Bishop Tuto of Regensburg had a castle built here to defend the area from Hungarian invasion. The castle was recorded as castellum quod dicitur Stufo between 894 and 930. The name stouf is Old High German for a cone-shaped rock or hilltop.

Donaustauf Castle Trail

Donaustauf Castle is one of over 40 castles in the Regensburg Land that are linked by a network of footpaths, the so-called 'Castle Trails'. The Donaustauf Castle Trail (Donaustaufer Burgensteig) is about 30 kilometres long.^[1]
