Burgruine Neufürstenberg, Schwarzwald-Baar, Medieval castle ruins in Vöhrenbach, Germany
The castle remains feature a massive shield wall measuring 15 meters high and 3.5 meters thick, protecting the western side of the structure.
Between 1275 and 1350, the Counts of Fürstenberg-Haslach constructed this fortress to control ore mining operations and secure the road between Breisgau and Baar.
The castle's destruction in 1525 led to a punishment requiring Vöhrenbach citizens to include a donkey in their city coat of arms until the 19th century.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a five-minute walk starting from the Breg bridge, with free access to explore the historical structure.
The fortress stands on a rocky spur between the Breg River and Urach stream, lacking a main tower unlike typical medieval German castles.
