Grebenstein Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Grebenstein, Germany.
The castle sits on a prominent basalt cone, with its remaining outer walls and palas standing as a testament to medieval defensive architecture.
Built in 1272 by Ludolf von Dassel, the castle changed ownership multiple times before being severely damaged during the Thirty Years War in 1631.
The castle's structural design integrated various defensive elements into a single complex, differing from traditional separate component construction methods of the period.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through multiple pathways leading to the top, with a staircase providing access to an observation platform.
The castle's stones were repurposed by local residents as building materials to reconstruct their community following the destruction of 1631.
