Ruine Haimburg, Medieval castle ruins in Grosselfingen, Germany.

The remains of Haimburg Castle stand on a mountain ridge at 530 meters above sea level, overlooking the steep slopes of Eyach Valley.

Count Friedrich VI of Zollern constructed the fortress between 1275 and 1325, with the first documented mention appearing in records from 1344.

The castle ruins demonstrate the architectural methods of medieval German defensive structures through the preserved shield wall and circular fortification elements.

The castle ruins, located 2 kilometers west of Grosselfingen, contain remaining sections of the shield wall, moat, and two polygonal ring walls.

The fortress underwent reconstruction in 1420 by Konrad von Bubenhofen and remained active until 1465, before its final destruction in 1642.
