Burg Bieberstein, Medieval castle ruins in Wiehl, Germany.
Burg Bieberstein is a castle ruin perched on a rocky slope near Wiehl that overlooks the valley below. The remaining stone walls display the solid construction typical of a medieval defensive structure from this region.
The castle was first mentioned in written records in 1342 and served as a regional fortification during the Middle Ages. It was gradually abandoned and stands today only as ruins.
The ruins carry marks of their medieval origins that echo in local stories and regional memory. Visitors can observe how the structure once dominated its surroundings as a defensive stronghold in the valley landscape.
The site sits in hilly terrain and can be reached via various walking paths, including established routes like the Richard-Schirrmann trail. Good footing and caution are needed as the approaches are steep and the ground is uneven.
Excavations from the 1930s discovered terraced cellars beneath the ruin structure. Local tales speak of hidden chambers deep underground that continue to spark curiosity among visitors and researchers.
