Burg Grüningen, Medieval castle ruins in Pohlheim, Germany

The stone castle remains display a square layout with walls two meters thick and a northwestern round tower measuring 9.5 meters in diameter.

Built between the 12th and 13th centuries as a moated castle, the structure received its first documented mention in 1459 through a sale transaction.

The castle grounds now serve as a venue for traditional German festivals and community gatherings, preserving local heritage through active community engagement.

The restored northwestern tower functions as an observation platform, providing visitors access to panoramic views of the surrounding Hessian landscape.

The castle ruins contain two preserved cellar vaults within their original structure, integrated into the former city fortification walls of Grüningen.
