Kastelburg, Castle ruin in Waldkirch, Emmendingen, Germany.
The stone remains of Kastelburg stand at 363.3 meters elevation, positioned 100 meters above the center of Waldkirch in Baden-Württemberg.
The Lords of Schwarzenberg constructed Kastelburg between 1260 and 1270 to defend Waldkirch and control the trade route through the Elz valley.
The ruins serve as a testament to medieval German architecture, with information boards explaining the structural elements and defensive capabilities.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the castle ruins, including the Knight's trail that features decorative statues along the path.
A detailed model of Kastelburg's original structure before its 1634 destruction is displayed at the Elztalmuseum in Waldkirch.
