Burg Königsberg, Medieval fortress in Hesse, Germany.
The stone structure rises above the landscape with its towers, defensive walls, and central courtyard positioned on elevated ground at 84 meters height.
Construction of the fortress began in 1255 by the Teutonic Order, replacing a wooden structure and earlier pagan settlement on the strategic location.
The castle contained a Lutheran church, hospital, and convent, serving as a center for religious and administrative activities in the Prussian Empire.
The castle walls remained strong despite RAF bombings during World War II, demonstrating the durability of medieval construction techniques.
The fortress housed the Prussia Museum with 240,000 exhibits until World War II, including regional artifacts and works by artist Lovis Corinth.
