Regenstein Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Blankenburg, Germany
The fortress stands on a 294-meter sandstone rock formation, featuring multiple chambers and passages carved directly into the natural stone foundation.
The castle, first documented in 1162 under Conrad of Regenstein ownership, served as a strategic military outpost until Prussian forces rendered it unusable in 1758.
The castle grounds host regular medieval tournaments and garrison festivals, where visitors can experience historical reenactments throughout the year.
The site operates daily from April through October between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with reduced winter hours from Wednesday to Sunday.
Archaeological excavations within the rock-carved chambers continue to reveal artifacts spanning several centuries of Germanic military and noble life.
