Wasserburg Friedewald, Medieval castle ruin in Friedewald, Germany.

The remains of Wasserburg Friedewald feature four corner towers and walls constructed from local Friedewald sandstone, standing near the Dreienberg mountain.

Built in 1472 by Landgrave Heinrich III as a moated castle, the structure served as a defensive fortification until its destruction in 1762.

The castle grounds host the annual Friedewalder Garden Festival, presenting garden design exhibitions, plant markets, and artistic performances throughout the season.

Visitors can explore the castle ruins through guided tours, which include information about medieval architecture and regional history from the 15th century.

The Treaty of Friedewald, which secured Landgrave Philipp I's release from Imperial imprisonment, was signed at this location on October 5, 1551.
