Ebernburg Castle, Medieval castle in Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg, Germany.

The stone fortress stands on a hilltop, featuring remaining walls and structures that demonstrate medieval defensive architecture from the 13th century.

The castle construction began in 1338 under Raugrave Ruprecht and Count Johann of Sponheim-Kreuznach, serving as a residence for noble families through centuries.

The castle holds special significance as the birthplace of Franz von Sickingen, a notable landsknecht captain who influenced German military history.

Visitors can reach the castle daily and spend approximately 45 minutes exploring the grounds while learning about medieval construction techniques.

A monument to Ulrich von Hutten, erected in 1889 on the slope near the castle ruins, commemorates the protection he received at this location.
