Regensburg, Germany
Burg Donaustauf
The castle was constructed for Bishop Tuto of Regensburg between 914 and 930
A.D on the site of Celtic fortifications dating back to approximately 500 B.C.
Burg Donaustauf was long prized (and repeatedly attacked) because of its
strategic location. From the top of the hill, soldiers armed with medieval
weapons were able to control shipping and military movements on the Danube
River.
