Burg Wertheim, Medieval castle ruins in Wertheim, Germany
The castle stands on a ridge between Main and Tauber valleys, featuring a 25-meter tower and palace remnants from the 13th century.
First documented in 1183, the fortress served as residence for the Counts of Wertheim until Swedish forces damaged it during the Thirty Years' War.
The medieval poet Wolfram von Eschenbach wrote sections of his literary work 'Parzival' during his stays at the castle in the 12th century.
The castle restaurant serves regional dishes in historical rooms, while the grounds accommodate up to 100 people for events and celebrations.
The octagonal stair tower, constructed in 1562, represents one of the last additions to the castle before its decline.
