Greifenstein Castle, Medieval castle in Greifenstein, Germany.
The stone fortress stands at 441 meters above sea level on a hill, providing extensive views across the Dill valley and surrounding region.

The fortified chapel contains Italian Early Baroque stuccos, while the Chapel of St. Catherine features Gothic architecture and preserved medieval frescoes.
