Burg, Medieval castle ruins in Königsberg, Germany.

The stone fortification stands on a 355-meter-high hill overlooking the historic old town, with connecting walls extending down to Saint Josef Church.

The castle's construction began after the destruction of Bramberg Castle in 1168, serving as an imperial fortress under Emperor Frederick II until 1243.

The castle grounds host regular events including open-air cinema screenings, festivals, and historical reenactments throughout the summer months.

The castle remains open year-round, featuring a restaurant serving regional cuisine and multiple parking areas for visitors exploring the grounds.

An eight-meter-deep lined moat protects the eastern side of the castle, while preserved foundation walls reveal the structure's original defensive layout.
