Burg Limburg, Medieval castle ruins in Weilheim an der Teck, Germany.
The castle foundations rest on a 597-meter volcanic mountain peak, rising 200 meters above the surrounding Baden-Württemberg landscape.
Built around 1060 by Count Berthold I of Zähringen, the castle served as his residence until his death in 1078, documented first in 1077.
The castle grounds include a 15th-century chapel dedicated to Saint Michael, built after the original structure fell into abandonment.
The castle ruins remain accessible without entry restrictions, located at coordinates 48.6042 latitude and 9.53639 longitude on Limberg hill.
The castle mountain contains volcanic basalt tuff formations created by gas explosions 17 million years ago, protected now as a 161-hectare nature reserve.
