Burg Neuwolfstein, Medieval castle ruins in Wolfstein, Germany.
The remaining structures include a 1.2-meter-thick defensive wall, a shield wall, castle gate, and foundations of the former residential building on a 238-meter hill.
Rudolf of Habsburg constructed the fortification between 1275 and 1324 as part of the defensive system protecting the newly established town of Wolfstein.
The St George Chapel within the castle walls served as the main religious center for Wolfstein residents from 1720 to 1771.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked hiking trails from the Wolfstein town center, offering views of the Rhineland-Palatinate landscape.
A local tale speaks of a deep castle well where 30 French cavalry soldiers fell during night marches, though the well location remains unknown today.
