Burg Zuzenhausen, Medieval castle ruins in Zuzenhausen, Germany
The pentagonal hilltop castle features a massive shield wall measuring 20 meters in height, 30 meters in length, and 3.6 meters in thickness.
Built around 1250 by Ludwig von Huffnen, the castle suffered destruction by Bavarian forces in 1643 and French troops in 1689 during military conflicts.
The castle served as the residence of the Lords of Venningen until 1637, when the Zuzenhausen line of the noble family ended.
The castle remains stand at 160 meters above sea level on the southern edge of Zuzenhausen, accessible via the Rechgasse street.
Despite its substantial defensive structures, this hillside fortress never incorporated a central keep tower in its architectural design.
