Burgruine Blankenberg, Medieval castle ruins in Thuringia, Germany.
The castle ruins stand on a rocky outcrop, featuring seven substantial support pillars and a visible moat surrounding the structure's perimeter.
Established in 1192, Burgruine Blankenberg remained intact until 1948 when Soviet forces demolished the structure following an 800-year presence.
A scale model constructed in 2007 preserves the memory of the original castle, marking its 775th anniversary for future generations.
The site connects to numerous hiking and cycling paths along the Grünes Band, with clear directional signs guiding visitors through the grounds.
Archaeological excavations conducted after 1990 revealed preserved sections of the castle, leading to renewed interest in this historical location.
