Burg Schweinheim, Medieval castle ruins in Euskirchen, Germany.
The remains of Burg Schweinheim include a corner tower and sections of fortified walls integrated into a large agricultural estate complex.
First documented in 1333 as part of a Julich fiefdom, the castle featured a double structure design surrounded by protective water moats.
The castle represents the medieval architectural traditions of North Rhine-Westphalia, showcasing regional defensive construction methods from that period.
Visitors can access the castle ruins during daylight hours, as they are situated within an active farming property at the edge of Schweinheim.
Archaeological excavations at Burg Schweinheim revealed Germany's first identified medieval piggy bank, containing coins from the medieval period.
