Burg Wildeck, Medieval castle ruins in Wildeck, Germany

The castle remains include a ring wall, parts of a moat, and modern buildings constructed upon ancient foundations with a residential tower.

Initially constructed by Thuringian landgraves in the 13th century, the castle received its first documented mention in 1289 and fell into Fulda Abbey's possession by 1301.

The castle site now serves as an important regional landmark, with its foundations and well maintained through local community initiatives and association donations.

Located at Schlossberg, 350 meters above sea level in the southern part of Richelsdorf Mountains, surrounded by forest terrain.

After its destruction in 1525, the castle provided shelter to a bandit known as Wilde Sau before being transformed into Blumenstein hunting lodge in 1727.
