Burg Waseneck, Medieval castle ruins in Oberndorf am Neckar, Germany

The castle structure stands at 606 meters above sea level, featuring remaining sections of the main tower, courtyard, walls, and defensive trenches.

The Dukes of Teck constructed this fortification around 1220, and it underwent expansions between 1270 and 1300 before falling into ruins by 1460.

The Maier family of Waseneck managed the castle operations as administrators and castellans from 1295 until 1363, marking a period of local governance.

Visitors can access the castle ruins through a forest path that follows the original outer moat system of the fortification complex.

Between 1968 and 1980, workers uncovered and restored the foundation walls, partially rebuilding sections to preserve the medieval structure.
