Burg Nürings, Medieval castle ruins in Königstein im Taunus, Germany.

The remaining tower stump of Burg Nürings stands at 500 meters above sea level, featuring walls measuring 12 by 12 meters near Burg Falkenstein.

The Lords of Bolanden acquired the castle after the extinction of the Nürings family in 1171, subsequently constructing Burg Neu-Falkenstein adjacent to the original site.

The castle ruins demonstrate the architectural methods of medieval German fortification, with strategic defenses including steep rock faces and protective moats.

Visitors should note that the castle remains are situated within the nature reserve Burghain Falkenstein, requiring careful navigation of steep paths and uneven terrain.

Recent research reveals that the visible stone structures date between the late 13th and early 15th centuries, contradicting earlier assumptions about their age.
