Alte Burg, Castle ruin in Oberhausen, Germany
Alte Burg is a castle ruin in Oberhausen that preserves remnants of a western outer wall and foundation stones. The foundations spread across the grounds and give an impression of the original extent of the structure.
The castle emerged in the late 10th century and received its first written mention in 1007. It was destroyed in 1246 and subsequently lost its role as a fortified stronghold.
The site displays medieval defensive building techniques typical of the region. Visitors can see how such structures served as power symbols for local rulers of that time.
The site remains open year-round and sits slightly outside the town center. Good footwear is recommended since the ground can be uneven and the area is spread out.
A reconstructed Bergfried tower marks the spot where the original defensive tower once stood. This reconstruction helps visitors better understand the layout and scale of the former fortress.
