The Burgstall Kranzberg refers to an abandoned hilltop castle at 486 m above sea level. NHN on the Pantaleonsberg above the Amper north and northwest of the church of Kranzberg in the Freising district in Bavaria .

The castle was built around 1200 by the “Chranichsberg” ministerial family. From the middle of the 13th century to 1409 the Lords of Massenhausen are named as owners. After Sigfrid III. von Fraunberg had taken over the rule Hohenburg am Inn, he started a feud against the diocese of Freising , thereby storming the castles of Kranzberg and Burgrain and killing the castle garrisons.

In 1632 the castle was destroyed by Swedish troops during the Thirty Years' War . Before it was destroyed, the castle was the official seat of the ducal Bavarian district court of Kranzberg .

In 1660 the ruin was torn down and used as a quarry for stately buildings (tournament house) in Munich. In 1666 the St. Pantaleon Castle Chapel was rebuilt and demolished in 1807.

Nothing has been preserved from the former castle on a 25 to 30 meter high mountain cone with a castle plateau 60 meters in diameter.
