Burg Niederhaus, Medieval castle ruins in Ederheim, Germany.
The castle ruins stand on a narrow rocky ridge above Kartäusertal, featuring a prominent tower and remaining sections of exterior walls.
Built in the 12th century for the Lords of Hürnheim, the castle experienced multiple attacks, including destruction by Swedish cavalry during the Thirty Years' War.
A commemorative stela installed in 2012 honors Friedrich von Hürnheim, who was executed in Naples alongside the last Hohenstaufen, Konradin, in 1268.
The castle ruins maintain free public access, with modern bridges crossing outer ditches to reach the main structure components.
The fortress incorporates a double trench system spanning 90 meters in length, suggesting the presence of earlier medieval fortifications at this location.
