Burg Stolzeneck, Medieval castle ruin in Neunkirchen, Germany
Located at an elevation of 208 meters, Burg Stolzeneck stands on a mountain spur extending down to the Neckar River, separated by a ravine.
The castle, constructed around 1200 as an imperial fortress, served as a feudal property of the Electoral Palatinate from 1284 until its abandonment in 1610.
The shield wall of Burg Stolzeneck represents medieval German defensive architecture, with its walkway providing surveillance across the Neckar Valley.
The ruins are temporarily closed in the main castle area due to cracks and stone breakouts, though the outer bailey with its well remains accessible.
Archaeological excavations in 1964 revealed foundations running diagonally to the palace walls, indicating construction modifications after 1350 and during the 16th century.
