Burg Möckmühl, Medieval castle in Möckmühl, Germany.

The castle features five wall towers, a two-story neo-Gothic stone house with a hipped roof, and a medieval tower at the northwest corner.

The castle was first documented in 1251, built by the Lords of Dürn, and later served as a stronghold for Götz von Berlichingen during the 1519 conflict.

The Götzenturm tower stands as a testament to medieval engineering with its eight-sided timber-framed upper section and characteristic Romanesque arch entrance.

The castle requires advance arrangements for visits as it remains a private residence, with specific areas accessible during scheduled guided tours.

In 1902, General Gustav von Alvensleben and his wife reconstructed the castle, incorporating original foundation elements while maintaining medieval architectural features.
