Burg Volmarstein, Medieval castle ruin in Volmarstein, Germany.
Three remaining towers of Burg Volmarstein rise above the Ruhr Valley, offering views across the surrounding North Rhine-Westphalia landscape.
The castle, constructed in 1100 by Archbishop Friedrich I of Cologne, served as a fortification until its destruction by Count Engelbert II in 1324.
The castle grounds host summer events including Irish Folk Festival and Rock auf der Burg, drawing visitors from the Ruhr region.
The castle ruins are accessible through marked paths from the village center, with parking available near Hauptstrasse or Volmarstein Dorfplatz stations.
The stones from the castle's original structure were repurposed by local residents for building after a significant fire in 1754.
