Hunnesrück Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Dassel, Germany.

The castle remains include sections of defensive walls, deep moats, and earthen ramparts positioned on a hilltop at 317 meters elevation.

Built during the 13th century, Hunnesrück Castle met its destruction in 1521 during the intense conflicts of the Hildesheim Diocesan Feud.

The medieval fortress represents a significant example of regional defensive architecture, influencing local stories and historical narratives through generations.

Visitors can explore the archaeological site by following marked paths that lead through the preserved sections of walls and fortifications.

The Imperial Abbey of Corvey transferred the castle ownership rights to the counts of Pyrmont through a documented sale in 1360.
