Burg Wolfsegg, Medieval castle and museum in Wolfsegg, Germany.
The stone fortification rises above the town of Wolfsegg, featuring thick defensive walls, towers, and battlements that define its medieval architecture.
The castle, constructed during the Middle Ages, functioned as a strategic stronghold for local nobility and underwent modifications throughout different historical periods.
The museum exhibitions showcase daily medieval life, including artifacts, administrative documents, and examples of minnesong performances from the lower nobility.
The castle museum opens from May through October, with visiting hours on Saturdays and Sundays between 10:00 and 16:00, requiring advance planning.

This collection presents locations around the world associated with ghost stories and unexplained events. From historic fortresses and former prisons to abandoned hospitals and old cemeteries, these sites have developed their own legends. Visitors can explore the Tower of London in England, where reports of ghostly sightings have been documented for centuries, or tour the Catacombs of Paris, an underground network holding the remains of millions. In Asia, Aokigahara Forest at the base of Mount Fuji draws visitors interested in its dense vegetation and troubling history, while Bhangarh Fort in Rajasthan stands as one of India's most notorious locations. The collection also features places like Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, a former prison with a dark past, Waverly Hills Hospital in Kentucky, which once treated tuberculosis patients, and Sleepy Hollow in New York, made famous by Washington Irving's tale. In Europe, Dragsholm Castle in Denmark, Leap Castle in Ireland, and Château de Châteaubriant in France offer insights into medieval history and the stories that have grown around them. Each location combines architectural or natural features with the narratives that have developed over time.
