Burg Hauenstein, Medieval castle ruins in Laufenburg, Germany
The stone fortress stands on a porphyry rock ridge at 330 meters above sea level, offering extensive views of the Rhine River and surrounding territory.
The castle served as an imperial fief and administrative center of the Waldvogtei in Hauenstein County until the year 1500, protecting the Säckingen monastery.
The structure reveals different construction phases, with the southwestern section representing the oldest part dating back to the 10th or 11th century.
Visitors can access the castle grounds through a path from the southwest direction, where ancient moats and ramparts define the defensive perimeter.
The castle grounds feature the remains of an artificial pond on the northwest side and multiple defensive trenches that surrounded the fortification.
