Wallenstein Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Knüllwald, Germany.
The stone remains of Wallenstein Castle stand on elevated ground, featuring structural elements of defensive walls and a preserved tower section.
Built in 1223 under the direction of the Count of Schauenburg, the castle served as a strategic fortress to protect the border against expanding landgrave influence.
The castle grounds host regional gatherings where visitors learn about medieval construction techniques and defensive architectural practices of German fortifications.
The castle ruins remain open throughout the year, with marked hiking trails leading to the site from the surrounding Knüllwald municipality.
The von Wallenstein family maintained continuous residence at the castle from 1267 until 1745, when their male lineage reached its conclusion.
