Burg Alt-Sternberg, Medieval castle ruins in Dörentrup, Germany
The remains of Alt-Sternberg Castle include a three-part wall and moat system encompassing an outer fortification, bailey, and main castle section.
Archaeological excavations in 1908 revealed five house cellars within the main castle area, along with medieval pottery and two significant coins from 1192-1197.
The castle site demonstrates the architectural evolution of medieval defensive structures through its strategic position on the Mühlingsberg mountain at 300 meters elevation.
The archaeological site spans approximately 1000 square meters and features moats that originally measured 15 meters wide and 12 meters deep.
Researchers discovered numerous medieval artifacts including Pingsdorf pottery, iron tools, a glass ring, and animal bones primarily from pigs during excavations.
