Burg Kranzberg, Medieval hilltop castle in Sulzbach-Laufen, Germany
The stone castle sits at 441 meters above sea level, featuring a residential tower with walls measuring 1.5 meters in thickness and a base of 13.5 meters.
The Counts of Öttingen constructed Burg Kranzberg in the early 13th century, with its first written mention appearing in historical records from 1212.
The preserved ruins include late Romanesque architectural elements, inner and outer baileys, which represent medieval German fortification design principles.
The castle remains are accessible through travel routes in southern Germany, positioned near other historical sites in the Schwäbisch Hall district of Baden-Württemberg.
A natural saddle, 40 meters deep, separates the castle grounds from the Limpurger Mountains to the east, creating a distinct geographical formation.
