Nellenburg, Medieval castle ruin near Neustadt, Germany.
The castle ruins stand on a basalt cone called Hain at 345 meters elevation, featuring remaining fortification walls and a system of defensive ditches.
Built by the Counts of Ziegenhain in the 13th century, the castle was first documented in 1271 and sold to the Electorate of Mainz in 1294.
The site connects to regional folklore through tales of an underground passage leading to the Junker-Hansen Tower, containing weapons and artifacts.
Visitors can observe the rectangular layout of the castle measuring 23 by 20 meters, with northern walls reaching 2.6 meters in thickness.
Concrete foundations and wooden tower posts from 1938 remain visible at the site, marking modern construction activities atop the medieval ruins.
