Elmsburg, Medieval castle ruins in Schöningen, Germany.

The remains of Elmsburg contain foundation walls and restored chapel structures situated within a dense forest area west of Schöningen.

The castle, initially managed by the Teutonic Order of Lucklum, underwent significant decline after a large fire in 1572 led to its abandonment.

Archaeological excavations at Elmsburg continue to reveal information about regional developments and settlement patterns throughout German medieval periods.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked hiking trails, with informational signs guiding them through the historical forest location.

Local tales mention underground passages connecting Elmsburg to other locations, including stories of a castle maiden walking with keys at night.
