Burg Hallburg, Medieval castle in Volkach, Germany.
The stone walls of Burg Hallburg rise above the Volkach landscape, featuring defensive towers and a surrounding ring wall from medieval times.
The castle's first documented mention appears in a 1150 letter written by Henry Berengar, son of King Conrad III of the Staufer dynasty.
The castle complex stands as a testament to Bavarian architectural development, displaying the transition from military fortification to residential quarters.
The Prince of Oettingen-Wallerstein Cultural Foundation maintains the castle and provides guided tours from March through early November.
The castle's position on high ground above the Wörnitz River valley allowed guards to monitor movement across the surrounding terrain.
