Burg Milseburg, Medieval castle ruins in Kleinsassen, Germany
Situated at 613 meters above sea level, Burg Milseburg stands on a steep hillock with remaining field stone walls of 1.20 meters thickness.
The castle first appeared in documents from Emperor Otto II in 980 as Milsiburg, marking the border between Fulda Monastery and Hünfeld territory.
The Frankish noble family von Milz managed the fortress and received rights over additional castles in the Fulda region during medieval times.
The castle location requires sturdy hiking shoes to reach, as trails circle the hillock on three sides without direct access paths.
The residential tower measured 21 by 24 meters, making it a smaller fortress compared to other regional castles of that period.
