Wohldenberg Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Sillium, Germany.
The castle remains stand at 218 meters elevation on the northwestern extensions of Hainberg, with a 32-meter-high keep offering panoramic views.
The counts of Wöltingerode constructed the fortress between 1153 and 1160, marking their territorial expansion into the Ambergau region of Lower Saxony.
The castle gatehouse, functioning as a vicarage since 1668, represents the continuous religious presence in this historical fortification.
Visitors can access the observation platform at the top of the restored keep, which provides views across the surrounding Lower Saxony landscape.
The castle was built on the location of a former offering stone dedicated to the Germanic deity Wodan, connecting ancient religious practices to medieval architecture.
