Stolzenberg Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Bad Soden-Salmünster, Germany.
The stone remains of Stolzenberg Castle stand on a 277-meter hilltop, featuring a twenty-meter-tall tower and segments of the original defensive walls.
The castle, constructed around 1152 by the abbot of Fulda Abbey, met its destruction during the Thirty Years War by Croatian imperial troops.
The remaining tower structure serves as a testament to medieval defensive architecture, with its high entrance positioned ten meters above the ground level.
Visitors can access the observation platform through 88 steps from the ground level entrance, offering views of Sodner Au and the Spessart Mountains.
The castle's defensive tower placement on the attack side of the fortification differs from traditional medieval castle construction methods of the region.
