The Postal Eugenbach denotes a Outbound medieval hilltop castle on the 461  m above sea level. NHN high "Kirchenberg", a terrain spur high above the Isar valley near Eugenbach . The facility is located in the municipality of Altdorf in the Landshut district in Bavaria . Today, instead of the castle, there is the Eugenbach parish church of St. Georg with the surrounding cemetery .

The castle, which was built in the 10th century, probably served to monitor the country roads in the Isar valley and the Isar waterway itself. The foundation walls of this facility are still preserved today in the masonry on the west side of the parish church up to about 3.5 meters high. Some time ago, during cemetery work, blocks made of tuff were found several meters deep , which could possibly point to a much earlier development, for example a Roman watchtower for the Roman roads in the Isar valley that already existed around 200 AD. This theory is supported by the fact that at the time at the foot of the Kirchenberg (today's settlement area of ​​Eugenbach) there was a villa rustica , a Roman estate, with an attached pottery .
