Löwenburg, Medieval castle ruins in Siebengebirge mountains, Germany
The castle remnants include foundation walls, gate structures, and a partially rebuilt keep situated at the summit of Löwenburg mountain at 455 meters elevation.
Built around 1200 by the Counts of Sayn, the castle served as a strategic fortification against the neighboring Archbishopric of Cologne until 1463.
The castle ruins demonstrate medieval German military architecture through preserved embrasures, rectangular towers, and the remains of an outer bailey complex.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through marked hiking trails in the Siebengebirge Nature Park, with the Rheinsteg path leading directly to the site.
The castle's position provides views extending across the Rhine Valley to Bonn and the Westerwald mountains on the opposite riverbank.
