Burgruine Steinenschloss, Medieval castle ruins in Thaleischweiler-Fröschen, Germany.

The castle spans 70 meters in length and 46 meters in width, featuring sandstone walls measuring up to 2.5 meters thick.

Built around 1100 during the Salian dynasty, the fortress stood for only a century before abandonment and subsequent deterioration.

The castle demonstrates Emperor Conrad II's strategy to reduce the influence of dukes and churches within his territory.

Visitors can access the ruins throughout the year via Steinenschlossweg, with guided tours available through advance reservation at 0049-6334-441239.

The circular tower, measuring 13 meters in diameter, represents an architectural style rarely found outside central Germany.
