Staufenberg Castle, Medieval fortress near Durbach, Germany.

The castle stands on a rocky hill overlooking the Black Forest, Ortenau region, and Alsace, with high stone walls and multiple defensive structures.

The original castle served as a residence for the Counts of Ziegenhain from the 12th century until 1450, when the territory transferred to Hesse.

The Markgraf von Baden winery operates within the castle grounds, producing regional wines and offering tastings that represent Baden's wine traditions.

Visitors can access both the restored lower castle, which functions as a hotel and restaurant, and the upper castle ruins through marked walking paths.

The castle survived a Swedish siege in 1645, though the upper section was later demolished in 1647, creating the current split-level structure.
