Burg Hünenknüfer, Medieval castle ruins in Fröndenberg, Germany.
The castle remains include a large tower hill measuring 45 meters in diameter with green sandstone walls reaching 1.85 meters in thickness.
Built during medieval times, the fortress featured three substantial ditches, with the middle one reaching depths of 8 meters and widths of 12 meters.
Local records connect the castle to an aristocrat named Antonius von Scheda from 1289 and the establishment of the Premonstratensian monastery at Kloster Scheda.
The castle ruins stand on an elevated position above the Ruhr valley, providing access to hiking paths and views of the surrounding landscape.
The structure retains a double wall-and-ditch system to the north, with the main tower footprint measuring 7.50 by 5.75 meters.
