Burg Sponeck in Sasbach, Medieval castle ruin in Sasbach am Kaiserstuhl, Germany
The stone castle stands on a rocky elevation at 202 meters above sea level, with three sides facing the Rhine River in Baden-Württemberg.
The structure was built upon a late Roman fort from 370 CE during Emperor Valentinian I's reign, with archaeological evidence revealing ancient walls and towers.
The castle changed functions in the 1900s when painter Hans Adolf Bühler purchased it and established an art studio within its walls.
The privately owned castle opens to visitors twice per year, while the surrounding garden with art installations remains accessible throughout the year.
The irregular layout of the castle differs from typical Roman designs, incorporating a square tower with 1.7-meter-thick walls measuring 12.5 by 12 meters.
