Ruine Bernburg, Medieval castle ruin in Rottweil, Germany.
The Bernburg Castle ruins stand at 571 meters elevation, featuring remaining walls and tower sections from the original fortification structure.
Built between 1200 and 1225 as a lowland fortress, the castle met its destruction in 1417, leaving behind fragments of its three-part defensive layout.
The ruins represent a significant period of medieval German architecture, reflecting the defensive construction methods used by nobility in Baden-Württemberg.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through multiple walking paths that connect to the northern edge of Rottweil's city limits.
The castle site contains three distinct sections - front, middle, and rear fortifications - with partial ring walls still visible in their original positions.
