Burg Hauneck, Medieval castle ruins in Haunetal, Germany.
The castle remains stand at 524 meters above sea level on Stoppelsberg mountain, constructed from basalt with white sandstone window frames.
First documented in 1397, the castle served as an administrative center for the landgrave of Hesse following its acquisition in 1409 through military conflict.
The castle structure includes visible sections of outer walls, main living quarters, and kitchen areas that demonstrate architectural practices from multiple construction periods.
Visitors can access the site through three hiking routes, including a short 2.16 km loop from Steinbach and an extended 18.1 km trail network.
The castle sits atop a geological formation created by a volcanic vent during the Miocene epoch, featuring locally sourced construction materials.
