Burg Breuberg, Medieval castle in Breuberg, Germany.

The red sandstone fortress stands on a hill above the Mümling Valley, featuring defensive towers, ramparts, and an inner bailey with a deep well.

Built around 1200 during the Hohenstaufen dynasty, the castle transformed into a joint-inheritance property in 1323 when four noble families shared its administration.

The Renaissance Johann Casimir Building contains a decorated ceiling presenting mythological figures from Roman antiquity and noble family coats of arms.

The castle operates as both a museum and youth hostel, offering guided tours through its preserved defense structures and residential areas until early November.

The 85-meter-deep castle well, equipped with a reconstructed wheel mechanism, ensured water supply throughout centuries of continuous habitation.
