Burg Perlenberg, Medieval castle in Bann, Germany.
The castle sits at 371 meters above sea level on a small plateau near Hohenecken, featuring remnants of walls built with Buckelquader stone blocks.
The castle construction started around 1200 during the Staufer period as part of a protection system for the imperial palace in Lautern.
Archaeological excavations in 1901 by Christian Mehlis revealed the castle layout, contributing to the understanding of medieval defensive architecture in Germany.
Visitors need to follow an unmarked path from Einsiedlerhof toward Kolbenwoog to reach the secluded mountain peak where the ruins stand.
The remaining quadrangular keep measures 9 meters on each side with 1.5-meter-thick walls and displays a distinct profiled base construction.
