Ruine Diersburg, Medieval castle ruin in Hohberg, Germany
The ruins of Diersburg Castle stand on a rocky hill at 280 meters above sea level, featuring preserved walls reaching heights of 8 meters.
Built at the end of the 12th century, the castle served as a shared residence for multiple nobles until French troops destroyed it in 1668.
The castle remains demonstrate medieval architectural techniques through its preserved window frames, beam holes, and thick defensive walls.
Visitors can access the ruins via a 300-meter footpath from the free parking area located at the base of the hill.
Unlike typical medieval castles, Diersburg featured two residential palaces instead of a central defensive tower, making it an unusual architectural choice.
