Burg Baldeck, Medieval castle ruins in Bad Urach, Germany.
Located on a 628-meter-high rock formation above the upper Erms Valley, Burg Baldeck features remaining wall structures and stone steps carved into the rock.
The castle, built around 1250 by the noble lords of Baldeck, followers of the Counts of Urach, experienced a significant siege in 1256.
The structure, known locally as 'Mörderschlössle', represents the medieval defensive architecture of Baden-Württemberg through its strategic positioning and construction methods.
The castle remains are accessible through hiking trails approximately 2000 meters southwest of the Wittlingen district of Bad Urach in Baden-Württemberg.
Around 1700, authorities deliberately demolished the castle to prevent its use as a hideout for robbers in the region.
