Burg Neu-Dernbach, Medieval castle ruins in Bad Endbach, Germany

The fortress includes remnants of outer walls and fragments of two shell towers positioned on a hill at 480 meters above sea level.

The castle was constructed before 1350 by the Lords of Dernbach with support from the Bicken family to guard against the County of Nassau.

The castle belonged to two family branches, the von Dernbach and von Dernbach gen Graul, who maintained control until the lineage ended in 1748.

The castle site contains underground cellar vaults that were discovered during excavations conducted in the 18th century near the mountain settlements.

The fortress served as a checkpoint along the Brabant Road, a major trade route, until alternative paths reduced its strategic importance.
