Burg Falkenstein, Medieval castle in Falkenstein, Germany.
The stone fortress stands on elevated ground in the Vogtland region of Saxony, featuring defensive walls and a partially collapsed well tower.
The castle origins date to the 12th century when the noble family of Lutzelbourg established it as a strategic stronghold in the region.
The castle serves as a focal point for medieval reenactments and educational programs that showcase regional traditions and craftwork throughout the year.
Visitors can access the castle grounds without entrance fees and explore the courtyard, stone foundations, and remaining fortification structures during daylight hours.
The castle retains traces of squirrel wheels, medieval mechanisms that were used for lifting supplies and materials to higher levels of the fortress.
