Rudelsburg, Medieval castle ruins and restaurant near Naumburg, Germany
The castle stands 85 meters above the Saale River, featuring stone walls, a central keep, and outer fortification structures on a limestone ridge.
Built in 1050 as a border fortress, the Rudelsburg changed ownership multiple times between the Bishop of Naumburg and the Margraves of Meissen until 1485.
The castle became a national meeting point for German student fraternities in 1855, establishing the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband association's annual gatherings.
The restaurant opens Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM in winter and daily during summer, offering regional dishes for up to 75 guests.
Archaeological excavations revealed evidence of an early Bronze Age settlement from the Unetice culture at the castle site.
