The Burgrieden is an Outbound Spur castle on a promontory (Castle Hill) at 400 m above sea level. NHN west of Rieden in the Amberg-Sulzbach district in Bavaria .
The castle was built in the 12th century by the Lords of Rieden and a Chunrad de Rudin is mentioned from 1123 to 1136. By 1570 the castle was already in ruins and was probably finally destroyed in the course of the Thirty Years' War .
A few remains of the walls of the former castle have been built into farmhouses. Next to it there is a ditch and ramparts from an older fortification, probably from the 10th or 11th century.
