Ruin Hohenbodman, Medieval castle ruins in Owingen, Germany.

The stone tower of Hohenbodman Castle rises 37 meters high with an external circumference of 28 meters and internal diameter of 2.5 meters.

Built in the late 11th century by the Lords of Bodman, the castle was burned down in 1642 during the Thirty Years' War by Konrad Widerholt's troops.

The castle ruins represent medieval defensive architecture of Baden-Württemberg, with its bergfried serving as an observation point over Lake Constance region.

Visitors can access the site at coordinates 47°49'17.4"N, 9°12'41.7"E, where extensive restoration work between 1976 and 1999 improved the structure's stability.

The tower entrance sits eight meters above ground level and features a copper roof installed in 2011 through Baden-Württemberg's Monument Promotion Program.
