Burg Ellar, Medieval castle in Waldbrunn, Germany.

The rectangular fortress stretches across 21 by 27 meters with thick basalt stone walls measuring two meters in width at its foundation.

Built in the late 13th century by the Counts of Diez, the castle protected important imperial roads and received confirmation as an imperial fief.

The castle's architectural design represents regional defensive construction methods, featuring an observation tower and an enclosed courtyard for gatherings.

Located at coordinates 50.5085 latitude and 8.0936 longitude, visitors can find the castle at Oberstraße 15 in the 65620 postal district.

The fortress structure notably lacks windows and arrow slits, departing from traditional castle architecture of its period.
