Kammerburg, Medieval castle ruin in Lorch, Germany.
The Kammerburg stands on a slate outcrop below Rheinberg Castle, overlooking the right bank of the Wisper River in the Middle Rhine Valley.
The Archbishops of Mainz constructed Kammerburg between 1295 and 1298 as a siege fortress against Rheinberg Castle, with first documentation dating from 1304.
The fortification represents the medieval architectural methods of the Rhine region, with its rectangular main castle structure and rounded corners on the southern side.
The castle remains are privately owned and closed to visitors, with parts of the former outer bailey now occupied by residential buildings from the 1960s.
The castle walls once provided habitat for wall lizards, demonstrating how medieval structures can support specific wildlife populations in the Rhine Valley.
