Burg Helfenstein, Medieval castle in Koblenz, Germany
Burg Helfenstein stands on a hill overlooking Koblenz, featuring thick stone walls and towers that demonstrate traditional defensive architecture from the Middle Ages.
The castle was constructed around 1160 by the Helfenstein family, who initially served at Ehrenbreitstein Castle before expanding their domain with additional fortifications.
The fortress represents a significant example of medieval military engineering, with its strategic position controlling important trade routes through the region.
Visitors can access the castle grounds through marked paths, with designated parking areas available near the main entrance for convenience.
The original structure was replaced by Fort Helfenstein during the early 19th century as part of the Prussian fortress expansion project.
