Burg Ardeck, Medieval castle ruins in Holzheim, Germany
The castle stands on a cliff above the Aar River valley, featuring remaining sections of the curtain wall and a 21-meter-high tower.
First documented in 1395, Burg Ardeck served as a territorial fortification for the County of Diez against Katzenelnbogen until its abandonment in 1727.
The castle grounds host the Ardeck Castle Festival every two years during odd-numbered years, presenting comedies on an outdoor theatre stage.
Access to the castle ruins is free and available 24 hours daily, with parking available via the Schöne Aussicht road near Holzheim.
The castle structure reveals a modular construction method, with tower and shield wall components added separately without connecting masonry bonds.
