Burg Turmberg, Medieval castle ruins in Durlach, Germany
The stone fortress stands on the northernmost hill of the Black Forest, featuring a rectangular tower with 10-meter-wide sides and 2.5-meter-thick walls.
The castle, built between 1050 and 1100 by the Counts of Hohenberg, underwent multiple transformations until French troops damaged it during the War of Palatine Succession in 1689.
The medieval architecture and construction methods remain visible in the preserved sections of the ring wall, moat, and gate tower structure.
Visitors can access the tower from May to October between 8:00 and 20:00, while winter hours run from November to April between 8:00 and 18:00.
The Turmbergbahn, a funicular railway constructed in 1888, transports visitors from Durlach to the castle grounds throughout the year.
