Burg Liebau, Medieval castle ruins in Pöhl, Germany
The castle remains include a three-story rectangular residential building with a two-story gabled roof and stone walls atop a mountain ridge.
First documented in 1327 as Castrum Lubawe, the fortress changed ownership from the Plauen family to the Wettiner dynasty through a property exchange.
The castle structure demonstrates the transition from medieval defensive architecture to Renaissance residential design through its 16th-century modifications.
Visitors can access the ruins by following hiking trails from Jocketa or the Pöhl Dam, with parking spaces available near the site.
The castle features a deep defensive moat measuring 25 meters wide and 6 meters deep, carved directly into the bedrock.
