Limburg Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Sasbach am Kaiserstuhl, Germany
The remnants of Limburg Castle stand on a northeastern summit of the Kaiserstuhl, offering views across the Rhine Valley and surrounding vineyards.
The castle site has traces of Celtic settlements dating back 3000 years, followed by Roman occupation and later medieval fortification by the Zähringer dukes.
The castle forms part of the Scientific Educational Trail Limberg, which presents information about local history, viticulture, and natural heritage.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through multiple hiking trails, including an 8-kilometer route starting from the town of Sasbach am Kaiserstuhl.
During both World Wars, military observers used the castle's strategic position, leading to the construction of trenches and bunkers around the structure.
