Humburg, Medieval castle ruins in Wallerfangen, Germany.
The Humburg castle stands on a ridge of Saargau, featuring remaining ditches and foundation walls from its original stone tower construction.
Built around 813 for the Counts of Wallerfangen, the castle served as a residence until its destruction by fire in the early 11th century.
The castle foundations represent the architectural evolution of early medieval German fortifications, displaying characteristics of Salian period construction methods.
Visitors can access the castle ruins throughout the year and explore the remaining structures while learning about medieval defensive architecture.
Near the castle grounds, an ancient copper mine provides additional evidence of medieval industrial activities in the Saarland region.
