Burg Ravensberg, Medieval castle in Borgholzhausen, Germany.
The stone fortress sits atop a hill in North Rhine-Westphalia, featuring ancient walls, towers, and fortifications that exemplify medieval German architecture.
Built in 1080, Burg Ravensberg served as the ancestral residence of the Counts of Ravensberg until 1346, later functioning as an administrative center.
The castle foundation organizes medieval markets, concerts, and educational programs through the Ravensberger Klassenzimmer, connecting visitors with regional heritage.
Visitors can reach the castle through multiple hiking trails, including a 4.29 km loop from Borgholzhausen or a more demanding 20.5 km forest route.
The castle contains an 800-year-old well that extends 104 meters deep, now illuminated to showcase its engineering achievement.
