Altsachsenheim, Medieval castle ruin in Sachsenheim, Germany.
The castle ruins stand on a hillside overlooking the Enz Valley, with stone walls reaching heights of 14 meters and foundations spanning 30 meters.
Built in the second half of the 13th century, the castle served as the ancestral seat of the Lords of Sachsenheim until 1430 when it passed to the Lords of Nippenburg.
The castle's strategic position allowed its lords to collect tolls from raftsmen and carters transporting wood from the Black Forest along the Enz River.
The ruins underwent preservation work in 2012, funded by the German Foundation for Monument Protection, which included restoration of the south and east facades.
The castle's interior layout reveals a three-story design with buildings along the western side and in the north and southeast corners of the quadrangular structure.
