Burg Worringen, Medieval castle ruins in Worringen, Germany.
The castle site features a flat, grave-enclosed hill with a diameter of 25 meters, surrounded by remains of the original moat system.
Built in 1275 by the Herren von Worringen family, the fortress was destroyed in October 1288 following the Battle of Worringen and the defeat of Archbishop Siegfried.
The castle remains represent the medieval power struggles between regional nobles and the Catholic Church during the Limburger succession dispute of the 13th century.
Located on the left bank of the Rhine River at coordinates 51.0675° N and 6.86695° E, the site connects to several medieval structures within 5 kilometers.
The castle's destruction after just 13 years of existence marks it as one of the shortest-lived major fortifications in medieval German history.
