Heimburg Castle, Medieval castle in Niederheimbach, Germany.
The stone fortress stands at coordinates 50.0339 latitude and 7.8066 longitude, positioned on an elevated terrain overlooking the Rhine River valley.
Construction of the castle began in 1294 as a defensive structure for the Electorate of Mainz against Palatine forces, followed by French destruction in 1689.
The medieval architecture of Heimburg Castle reflects the defensive engineering methods and construction techniques employed during the late 13th century.
The castle remains closed to public access, with visitors limited to external views from designated areas in Niederheimbach.
Industrialist Hugo Stinnes led reconstruction efforts during the 19th century, transforming the ruins into the current structure visible today.
