Burg Badenweiler, Medieval castle ruins in Badenweiler, Germany.
Description
Burg Badenweiler is a castle ruin on a hilltop above the town, featuring preserved stone walls, a great hall with Romanesque windows, and the base of a round tower. The grounds include multiple sections that visitors can explore on foot throughout the site.
History
The castle was first documented in 1122 as a fortress of the House of Zähringen. In 1503 it came under the control of the margraves of Baden, marking a shift in regional influence.
Culture
The site was incorporated into an English landscape garden during the 19th century, where medieval walls now stand among planted grounds. This blend of castle architecture and garden design creates the character visitors experience today.
Practical
The grounds are accessible without charge during daylight hours and can be explored independently. Parking is available in a nearby structure for a fee, with a comfortable walking path leading from the lot to the castle.
