Burg Mömbris, Medieval castle ruins in Mömbris, Germany
The stone fortress stood on a prominent hill above the Kahl River, featuring a central tower and defensive walls surrounding the compound.
Built around 1300 by the Counts of Rieneck, the castle served as a strategic control point until its destruction by Frankfurt soldiers in 1405.
Archaeological excavations in 2019 revealed three distinct settlement phases, including a wooden castle from 1250 and a stone fortress from 1300.
The castle remains are located between the old cemetery and school in Mömbris, with visible foundation walls marking the former structure's outline.
Recent discoveries during cemetery expansion work uncovered sections of the original moat, providing new insights into the castle's defensive system.
