Ruine Zindelstein, Medieval castle ruin in Donaueschingen, Germany.
The remains of Zindelstein Castle include a square keep measuring 7.50 meters on each side with walls two meters thick at 750 meters above sea level.
Built by the Counts of Zähringen in the 12th century, the castle protected the road between Breisgau and Villingen until its destruction during the Peasants War in 1525.
The castle site contains multiple legends, including tales of a crusader knight returning with treasures and children discovering a secret tunnel to Tannheim monastery.
The castle ruins stand on private property between Furtwangen and Wolterdingen, requiring visitors to observe posted signs and respect access restrictions.
A landslide in 1970 partially destroyed the southern outer bailey section of the castle, altering its original medieval structure.
