Castle Hollende, Medieval hill castle ruins in Warzenbach, Germany
Located on a mountain ridge at 415 meters elevation, Castle Hollende features a rectangular wall measuring 28 by 22 meters with stone walls two meters thick.
The castle, constructed in 1008 on imperial property, served as a stronghold for the Gisonen family until its destruction in 1248 during regional power conflicts.
The fortress represents an early example of medieval defensive architecture in Hesse, with its preserved foundation walls demonstrating construction techniques from that period.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a marked trail starting at the Treisbach community center, following the 12-kilometer Hollende Round Trail.
The interior fortress contained a substantial tower measuring 10 by 7.5 meters with walls reaching 2.5 meters in thickness, indicating its military importance.
