Burg Zullenstein, Medieval castle ruins in Nordheim, Germany
The stone foundations of Burg Zullenstein stand at 93 meters elevation, revealing the structural layout of a former defensive stronghold from the medieval period.
Constructed around 850 AD, the castle received market rights under Otto III in the late 10th century and served as a regional administrative center.
The castle foundations, rediscovered during oil drilling in 1957, now function as an archaeological research site documenting medieval German architecture and construction methods.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked hiking trails from Nordheim, with informational panels explaining the structure's historical significance.
The castle's original Roman burgus foundations remain visible beneath the medieval construction, demonstrating multiple layers of military architectural development.
