Hohennagold Castle, Medieval castle ruins on Schlossberg hill, Nagold, Germany.

The stone fortifications include a prominent keep behind curtain walls, a northwestern tower, and an outer ward with half-round and angular towers.

Built around 1100 by the Counts of Nagold, the castle changed ownership to the Counts of Hohenberg in the 13th century and Württemberg in 1364.

The castle represents the architectural and military engineering achievements of medieval German nobility in the Black Forest region.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked hiking trails that start from the Nagold town center and lead up Schlossberg hill.

The fortress survived multiple conflicts but faced destruction in 1645 by Bavarian troops and later damage from Allied planes in 1945.
