Burg Hohenkarpfen, Medieval castle ruins in Hausen ob Verena, Germany
The castle stands at 911 meters above sea level, featuring remnants of a triangular outer bailey, main castle, and square residential tower structure.
Construction of the castle began around the year 1000, with the first documented mentions of the Lords and Knights of Karpfen dating to 1050.
The castle structure represents medieval defensive architecture of Baden-Württemberg, built with white Jurassic limestone similar to nearby Hegau volcanoes.
The castle ruins offer views over Gunningen municipality in the Tuttlingen district, accessible through marked hiking paths from Hausen ob Verena.
During the Thirty Years' War, imperial forces and residents of Villingen destroyed the castle, which was never reconstructed after this event.
