Burg Liebeneck, Medieval castle ruin in Würm, Germany

The remains of Liebeneck Castle stand on a mountain ridge above the Würm valley, featuring a 30-meter high bergfried and surrounding defensive walls.

Built in the 12th century, the castle first appeared in documents from 1236 during its transfer from the lords of Weißenstein to Margrave Rudolph of Baden.

The castle served as a residence for the Margraves of Baden from 1441 to 1499, reflecting the regional nobility's influence in medieval Baden-Württemberg.

The ruins can only be reached through forest paths, including the Ostweg trail, with an information board detailing the castle's construction and layout.

During the Orleans War in 1692, authorities deliberately destroyed parts of the castle to prevent unauthorized people from using it as shelter.
