Hüttelngesäß Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Freigericht, Germany
The rectangular fortress features remnants of a four-meter-high stone wall with arrow slits and traces of a former surrounding moat.
First documented as Hittengeseze in 1219, the castle transformed from a wooden refuge into a bandit stronghold before its destruction in 1405.
The castle ruins underwent extensive renovation between 1991 and 1995, preserving an important example of medieval defensive architecture.
The site includes a free parking area that serves as a starting point for hikes to Teufelsgrund and the 365-meter Schanzenkopf hill.
Since 2000, the castle grounds have been integrated into a residential complex while maintaining their historical elements.
