Burg Borghausen, Medieval castle ruins in Attendorn, Germany
The stone remains of Burg Borghausen stand on a 60-meter rock formation at 288 meters elevation, northwest of the Peperburg in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The fortification dates back to the 12th century and underwent destruction in 1632 during the Thirty Years War by Hessian-Swedish forces.
Archaeological findings at the site include metal artifacts and pottery from the 11th to 15th centuries, indicating settlement patterns of the Lahn-Sieg cultural group.
The ruins require proper hiking footwear due to uneven terrain, and visitors should note that the site remains inaccessible to wheelchairs.
Local residents repurposed the castle's stones as building materials, leaving only foundation traces of this ancient defensive structure visible today.
