Burg Camburg, Medieval castle in Dornburg-Camburg, Germany.

The castle stands on a hill overlooking the Saale Valley, featuring a 37-meter-high tower with walls measuring 11 meters in diameter.

First documented in 1166, the castle served as a strategic point along the Salt Road and underwent significant changes during the Saxon Fratricidal War in 1450.

The castle tower contains a museum presenting the history of Camburg through films and exhibits that showcase local legends and archaeological discoveries.

The castle grounds include multiple levels with a hall, bar facilities, and kitchen, making it suitable for events and celebrations throughout the year.
