Wiesneck Castle, Medieval castle in Buchenbach, Germany.
The castle stands at 537 meters above sea level in the Southern Black Forest region, with commanding views over three surrounding valleys.
Built in 1079 by the counts of Haigerloch, the castle faced destruction in 1121 by the Zähringens but underwent immediate reconstruction.
The remains of Wiesneck Castle reflect the architectural preferences of medieval German nobility, featuring distinct outer and inner wards.
The castle ruins remain accessible every day throughout the year, allowing visitors to explore the preserved entrance area and wall sections.
French forces damaged the castle during the Thirty Years' War in 1646, after which its stones served as building materials for local structures.
