Raffenburg, Medieval castle ruin in Hohenlimburg, Germany.
The stone foundations of Raffenburg stretch across a hilltop at 237 meters elevation, surrounded by dense forest in the Hohenlimburg region.
Built in the mid-13th century as a fortified stronghold, Raffenburg fell to Count Eberhard's forces in 1288 after a siege that ended due to water shortage.
The remaining walls and cellars of Raffenburg reflect medieval German military architecture, with traces of a round central tower and residential buildings.
Visitors can reach the ruins from the former Märchenwald parking lot, following a steep forest path that leads to information panels about the site.
A sandstone obelisk erected in 1837 marks the site, commemorating Emil Friedrich I, the final regent of Bentheim-Tecklenburg.
