Burgruine Schloßthal, Medieval castle ruins in Blankenheim, Germany.

The stone remnants of Burg Dollendorf rise against the landscape, with a tower and wall sections remaining from its original medieval structure.

First documented in 1077, the castle became a Cologne fief in the 12th century before passing to the control of Luxembourg and Jülich counts.

The castle ruins contain architectural elements that demonstrate medieval building techniques and defensive strategies used in the Eifel region.

Information boards at the site provide detailed explanations about the castle's layout, former inhabitants, and historical significance for visitors.

From the castle grounds, visitors can see distances up to 21.3 kilometers, including views of Aremberg, Nürburg, and Hohe Acht.
