Burg Herrnstein, Medieval castle in Ruppichteroth, Germany
The three-story manor house stands on a rocky hill, surrounded by ponds and features a gate tower with two round corner towers.
First documented in 1201, Burg Herrnstein served as a fortress and residence for the noble families of the Herren vom Steyne region.
The castle exemplifies medieval architectural design through its half-timbered structure, defensive walls, and strategic hilltop placement in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Interior visits remain restricted as the castle functions as a private residence, yet exterior views and surrounding grounds offer photographic opportunities.
The castle maintains its original water moat system, which completely encircled both the main building and the separate gate house structure.
