Iburg, Medieval castle ruin in Bad Driburg, Germany.
The stone remains of Iburg stand on a hilltop, featuring the preserved Bergfried tower and foundations of ancient fortification walls.
The castle complex, established in the 8th century as a Saxon refuge, was later expanded by the Bishops of Paderborn until its destruction in 1444.
The ruins include the foundation of the Peterskirche, which represents one of the oldest church sites in the Diocese of Paderborn.
The site offers free access throughout the year and connects to the 70-kilometer Eggeweg trail through the Egge Mountains.
The Kaiser-Karls-Turm, built in 1904 near the ruins, provides visitors with panoramic views over Bad Driburg and the surrounding mountains.
