Burgruine Wohlenstein, Medieval castle ruin in Bilderlahe, Germany.
The castle ruins feature a central square tower measuring 8.5 meters on each side with walls reaching 2.8 meters in thickness.
Built in 1295 by the Counts of Woldenstein, the castle controlled trade routes until Duke Erich of Calenberg-Göttingen destroyed it in 1519.
The castle ruins demonstrate medieval German defensive architecture with its deep moat system and high outer walls protecting the oval-shaped compound.
Located at 253 meters above sea level, the ruins remain freely accessible to visitors who can examine the 20-meter-high tower remains.
The castle grounds span 80 meters in length and contain a moat system over 10 meters deep, which remains visible in present times.
