Burg Münstereifel, Medieval castle in Bad Münstereifel, Germany.
The stone castle stands on a hill spur above the Erft valley, featuring a circular rampart and foundations of a round tower at its highest point.
The castle, first documented in 1317, served as residence for the Duke of Jülich's administrators until French troops burned it during the Nine Years' War in 1689.
The Inge Baecker gallery inside the castle presents exhibitions of international artists, combining medieval architecture with contemporary artistic expressions.
Visitors can access the castle through multiple hiking trails or take a direct route from Bad Münstereifel train station to explore the grounds.
Archaeological excavations in 1972 uncovered pottery fragments with specific decorative patterns that confirmed the site's occupation during the ninth century.
