Tomburg Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Rheinbach, Germany
The remains of Tomburg Castle stand on a 316-meter basalt hill near Wormersdorf, featuring segments of defensive walls and a 46-meter-deep well.
Count Palatine Ezzo of Lotharingia and Matilda, sister of Emperor Otto III, established their residence at Tomburg Castle around the year 1000.
The castle's presence influenced regional development, leading to its representation on local products and naming of educational institutions in Rheinbach.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked hiking trails, with parking facilities available at the base of Tomberg hill.
The castle well, excavated in 1883, reaches a depth of 46 meters through volcanic basalt, demonstrating medieval engineering capabilities.
