Liebenstein Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Olbernhau, Germany
The remains of Liebenstein Castle stretch across 90 meters in length and 25 meters in width on a rocky hill in the Schwarzwassertal valley.
Archaeological findings indicate the presence of a fortification on the Liebenstein hill from the 12th to the 14th century, marking one of the earliest settlements in this region.
The local population refers to these ruins as the robber baron's castle, reflecting medieval stories embedded in regional traditions.
Visitors can examine the remaining wall structures and dressed stone blocks while learning about the castle's past through an information board at the site.
The castle's interior design featured two distinct sections separated by a cross ditch, with traces of a strong tower visible until the 18th century.
