Burg Lichtenstein, Medieval castle ruins in Dorste, Germany.
The castle stands on a hilltop with remaining foundation walls, depicting the architectural elements of medieval defense structures from northern Germany.
Built in the 12th century, the Lichtenstein Castle served as a strategic fortification until its destruction during regional conflicts in the medieval period.
The castle ruins provide evidence of northern German military architecture and construction techniques used by medieval builders in the region.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a marked hiking trail that begins at the village center of Dorste and leads uphill for 800 meters.
The remaining stone walls reveal the original layout of the fortress, including the positions of the former great hall and defensive towers.
