Burg Schöneflieth, Medieval castle ruins near Ems River, Greven, Germany
The castle site consists of two islands with marked foundations and a reconstructed bridge spanning the former moat at the riverbank location.
Built in 1232 by Franco von Schonebeck, the castle served as a customs station and strategic control point along the Ems River trade route.
The structure represented the power dynamics between religious authorities and local nobles, functioning as both a defensive fortress and toll collection point.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through the EmsRadweg cycling path, with parking facilities available near the outdoor swimming pool.
Archaeological excavations in 1991 revealed a well with its original bucket and winch system, plus an unexplained circular shaft within the economic building.
