Burg Landeck, Medieval castle ruins in Schenklengsfeld, Germany.
The castle remains stand at 470 meters above sea level on a rock outcrop of Landecker Berg in northeastern Hersfeld-Rotenburg district.
The Abbey of Hersfeld established this administrative fortress in 1234, which later became a strategic point during regional conflicts until 1525.
The castle ruins represent medieval administrative architecture and demonstrate the power dynamics between religious institutions and territorial authorities in Hesse.
The stabilized wall structures, restored in 1982, allow visitors to explore the medieval fortification while providing views of the surrounding landscape.
Journalist August Spies, according to his handwritten autobiography, was born within these castle ruins in 1855.
