Burg Everstein, Medieval castle ruin in Negenborn, Germany

The castle remains span across two hilltops, known as Grosser Everstein and Kleiner Everstein, within the Weserbergland mountain range of Lower Saxony.

First documented in 1226, the castle changed ownership to Duke Heinrich I of Brunswick-Grubenhagen following a siege in 1284.

The site exhibits medieval construction techniques through its remaining walls of shellstone blocks and foundations that reflect architectural practices of the period.

Multiple hiking trails connect to the castle ruins, including a 2.9-kilometer loop from Arholzen with an elevation gain of 100 meters.

The foundations of a television signal converter now stand within the castle's interior, alongside archaeological findings such as spurs and crossbow bolts.
