Burg Wolfach, Medieval castle ruin in Wolfach, Germany.

The remains of Burg Wolfach stand on a steep hill at 318 meters elevation, featuring remnants of a round tower and portions of ring walls.

The castle originated in 1030 under the Lords of Wolfach, later passing to the Fürstenberg family through the marriage of Count Friedrich to Udilhild von Wolfach.

Local historical records from 1272 mention the castle as 'in castro Wolfach', marking its central role in regional medieval administration and defense systems.

The Wolfach Chapter Association maintains the ruins, which visitors can reach through marked hiking paths connecting to Black Forest trail networks.

In 1778, stones from the castle structure were removed and repurposed for reinforcing the banks of the Wolf River during flood protection efforts.
