Burg Blankenhorn, Medieval castle ruins in Güglingen, Germany

Heinrich von Neuffen owned the castle in 1241, marking the first documented reference of this defensive structure in historical records.

The castle represents the regional architecture of Baden-Württemberg, demonstrating the building techniques used by medieval German craftsmen.
