Ebersburg Castle

Ebersburg Castle stands at an elevation of 689 meters on a hill, featuring remaining walls and a restored observation tower within East Hesse.

The castle construction began around 1100, with significant expansion works completed in 1396, before its abandonment during the 16th century.

The castle represents a protected cultural monument of Hesse, reflecting the architectural practices and defensive requirements of medieval German fortifications.

The castle grounds remain open for public visits at all times, with access to the observation tower available by collecting a key nearby.

The castle never contained its own water well throughout its existence, making it unsuitable for permanent residence during medieval times.
