Burg Oberhohenberg, Medieval castle ruins in Schörzingen, Germany.
The castle remains display a massive 77-meter-long structure with an octagonal tower foundation and five defensive ditches across the hilltop position.
Constructed between 1050 and 1100 by the Counts of Hohenberg, the castle served as their ancestral seat until Rottweiler soldiers destroyed it in 1449.
The excavations conducted by researcher Albert Koch in 1913 revealed important information about medieval military architecture in Baden-Württemberg region.
The castle site features informational boards and a steel viewing platform, with access available through weekend train services during summer months.
Located at 1011 meters elevation, the castle includes a recently reconstructed Nikolaus Chapel and a modern footbridge spanning the original drawbridge location.
