Burgruine Rechenberg, Medieval castle ruin in Rechenberg-Bienenmühle, Germany.

The remains of Burgruine Rechenberg occupy a hilltop position overlooking the Freiberger Mulde river, spanning an area of 70 by 150 meters.

Originally documented in 1270, the castle evolved from a wooden fortification to a stone structure before being partially destroyed by fire in 1586.

The castle ruins represent medieval military architecture of Saxony, displaying remnants of the palatial building and defensive towers from different construction periods.

Visitors can access the archaeological site throughout the year without admission fees, with parking facilities available near the entrance to the ruins.

The fortress stands among the largest medieval fortifications in the Erzgebirge region, featuring three distinct structural cores from different construction phases.
