Schloss Reuschenberg, Medieval château ruins in Bürrig district, Leverkusen, Germany.
The château stood on a 22-meter hill with architectural elements from different construction periods dating between 1300 and 1885.
The fortress, first documented in 1300, underwent multiple reconstructions, including a major renovation in 1676 before its demolition in 1968.
The château housed the oldest known version of 'Lied vom treuen Husar', a traditional song from 1781 that gained popularity throughout the Cologne region.
The former château grounds now contain the Wildpark Reuschenberg, offering visitors a connection to the historical location through nature.
The property changed ownership seven times over centuries, belonging to notable families including the Knights of Reuschenberg and the von Mylius dynasty.
