Dagstuhl Castle, Medieval castle ruins on a hilltop in Wadern, Germany.
The stone fortress stands on an elevated position above the valley, featuring remaining walls and foundations of the original fortification structure.
Knight Boemund of Saarbrücken established the castle before 1290 following instructions from Bohemond I von Warnesberg, Archbishop of Trier.
The name of the castle originates from the German word 'Dach', meaning roof, referring to the hill's distinctive shape where the structure sits.
Archaeological excavations in 2004 resulted in improved pathways and accessibility measures, allowing visitors to explore the medieval ruins safely.
The castle ruins overlook the modern Schloss Dagstuhl conference center, which hosts international computer science meetings in the valley below.
