Großbernsau Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Overath, Germany.
The remaining walls of Großbernsau Castle stand 10 meters high and 8 meters wide, with traces of fireplaces and support beams inside the structure.
First documented in 1348, the castle served as residence for the Knights of Bernsau who gained prominence through their service to the Counts of Berg.
The castle represents the oldest preserved secular building site in Overath and stands as evidence of medieval noble residences in the region.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins via Hammermühle Street, followed by a 300-meter unpaved path leading to the observation point.
The oval-shaped castle mound measures 30 by 45 meters and contains multiple rubble heaps that reveal the foundation layout of former buildings.
