Ruin Chameregg, also called Ödenturm, is located 1 km east of Chammmünster, which is in turn south of Cham. The way to the ruin is easy to find by a sign to the nearby inn "Zum Ödenturm".

The ruins Ödenturm lies on a protruding paragraph of the Lamberg and dominated the Regen and Chambtal and sealed off the boiler together with the fortifications on the opposite Galgenberg towards Bohemia.

It is believed that to protect the church in Chammünster probably the castle Chameregg has been built and that none other than Emperor Henry the Holy (1002 - 1024) listed the tower and put in to secure his church Chammünster Reisige and Wappner. However, the dangerous neighborhood of the Bohemians made such a protection institution necessary.
