Burg Dill, Medieval castle in Dill, Germany

The rectangular four-story residential building of Burg Dill retains three side walls reaching a height of 19 meters above the surrounding countryside.

Constructed in the 11th century on former Roman or Celtic foundations, Burg Dill served as a strategic fortification until French forces destroyed it in 1697.

The castle grounds include an evangelical church built on the site of the former castle chapel, representing the evolution of religious practices in the region.

The castle offers guided tours in multiple languages, with clear directional signs and convenient access by both public transportation and private vehicles.

The remaining walls feature distinctive herringbone masonry patterns in the western section, while parts of the barrel-vaulted cellar remain accessible to visitors.
