Hochburg, Medieval castle ruins in Emmendingen, Germany
The castle structure spans seven bastions across multiple levels, displaying military architectural elements from different construction periods throughout its walls and towers.
Initially constructed in the 11th century, Hochburg underwent several transformations until French troops under Louis XIV completely destroyed it in 1688.
The castle cellar houses a museum that presents regional artifacts and documents detailing the military significance of this Rhine Valley fortification.
Visitors can access the castle grounds without entrance fees and find parking facilities at the base, with information boards explaining the historical features.
The castle sits at 324 meters elevation, offering views across the Rhine Valley and containing defensive structures inspired by sister fortifications in Baden.
