Burg Jesberg, Medieval castle in Jesberg, Germany.
The castle stands on a 280-meter high mountain, featuring a central tower, palace remains, cellars, and ring walls overlooking the Jesberg region.
Built between the late 12th and early 13th centuries, the castle changed ownership in 1241 when the Linsingen brothers sold it to Archbishop Siegfried III.
The structure demonstrates the development of medieval defensive architecture in Hesse, with elements from different construction periods still visible in its walls.
The observation platform in the tower remains open to visitors daily from April to October, with parking facilities and walking paths available.
The castle's stones were repurposed for building houses in Jesberg until 1820, when merchant Appell purchased the ruins and prevented further dismantling.
