Höhingen Castle, Medieval castle ruins on Schlossberg hill in Achkarren, Germany.
The stone remains of Höhingen Castle stand at 354 meters elevation, rising 150 meters above the Achkarren village in Baden-Württemberg.
The castle's first documented mention dates to 1064, when King Henry IV granted the surrounding territory to the monastery of Ottmarsheim.
Local peasants burned the castle in 1525 during regional conflicts over forest usage rights with the ruling Margraves.
Visitors can access the remaining walls and gate structure of the castle through hiking trails leading up from Achkarren village.
The castle's stones were sold to France in 1671 and used to construct fortifications in Neu-Breisach across the Rhine River.
