Burg Gamburg, Medieval castle in Werbach, Germany.
Burg Gamburg is a medieval fortification in the Tauber valley with stone walls, reinforced towers, and a central courtyard. The structure displays typical defensive architecture with windows and arches that reflect different periods of construction.
The castle was first documented in 1219, when nobleman Beringer von Gamburg built it during the High Middle Ages. Over subsequent centuries it changed hands multiple times and was expanded on several occasions.
