Burg Reifenberg, Medieval castle ruins in Oberreifenberg, Germany.
The castle ruins spread across 25,000 square meters of land, featuring an imposing 23-meter-tall keep and remnants of eight defensive bastions.
First mentioned in records from 1234, Burg Reifenberg served as the ancestral home of the Reiffenberg family until its destruction during the Nine Years' War in 1689.
The castle represents medieval German architectural traditions, with its remaining structures showcasing different building periods through military, residential, and religious elements.
The Burgverein Reifenberg association manages the site, organizing events and maintaining public access to the castle's residential tower during opening hours.
Standing as the highest medieval castle in the Taunus Mountains, the structure contains an intact powder magazine from its original fortification system.
