Burg Niederschlitz, Medieval castle ruins in Schlitz, Germany.
The remnants of Burg Niederschlitz consist of a flattened mound measuring 50 meters in diameter and standing 1.5 meters high near Schlitz town.
Built in the 12th century by the Lords of Schlitz, this defensive tower castle was destroyed in 1261 during a conflict between regional nobles and religious leaders.
The castle belongs to a network of seven medieval fortifications that formed the defensive system of Schlitz, including Vorderburg, Hinterburg, and Ottoburg.
Located 900 meters northeast of Schlitz's old town, the site sits at 224 meters above sea level and features a stone monolith marking its position.
The castle's water ditches, which were once supplied by the Schlitz river, have completely filled in over the centuries of abandonment.
