Godesburg, Medieval castle ruin in Alt-Godesberg, Germany
The castle stands on a volcanic hill reaching 121 meters above sea level, with thick stone walls and a central defensive tower.
Built in 1210 by Archbishop Dietrich von Hengebach, the fortress sustained severe damage during the 1583 siege of the Cologne War.
The castle restoration in 1959 followed architect Gottfried Böhm's plans, incorporating medieval elements with modern architectural features.
The castle includes a restaurant serving regional dishes, while the former hotel section contains residential apartments for permanent inhabitants.
During the 1583 siege, Bavarian forces dug underneath the eastern wall and used explosives to breach the castle defenses.
