Ruine Wielandstein, Medieval castle ruin in Lenningen, Germany
The Wielandstein ruins consist of five separate castle structures positioned along a rocky ridge above the Tobel Valley in Baden-Württemberg.
The original castles, Alt-Wielandstein and Hinterer Wielandstein, were constructed around 1150 and served as residences for the knights of the Dukes of Teck.
The castle complex represents the medieval architectural progression, featuring an oval-shaped fortress with remaining foundation walls and expanded cellars from different construction periods.
The ruins, situated at 671 meters above sea level, can be reached through hiking trails, with information panels explaining the site's layout and history.
The castle grounds were transformed into a stone quarry after 1553 when the municipality of Oberlenningen acquired the deteriorated structures.
