Schloss Alsbach, Counter-castle in Alsbach-Hähnlein, Germany.
The castle structure includes a 19-meter-high keep with an 11-meter diameter, surrounded by defensive walls and a narrow barbican.
The Lords of Bickenbach constructed this defensive fortification around 1235, with initial documentation appearing between 1241 and 1245.
The castle grounds transform during Pentecost into a regional arts and crafts market featuring medieval performances, artisans, and traditional demonstrations.
Visitors can reach the castle via public transport with a 30-minute walk from the nearest tram stop or drive directly using the A5 and A67 highways.
A historical knight group established in 2005 maintains a permanent camp with a forge where they demonstrate medieval crafts like blacksmithing and carpentry.
