Burgruine Greifenstein, Medieval castle ruins in Geismar, Germany
The stone fortress sits at 441 meters above sea level, featuring two distinct towers that stand against the German countryside landscape.
First documented in 1160, the castle changed ownership multiple times until 1315 when the House of Habsburg sold it to the Counts of Nassau.
The castle holds Europe's largest bell collection, displaying over 100 bells that represent different periods of German craftsmanship and engineering.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds through a circular path that includes access to ancient dungeons, weapon displays, and a traditional wine cellar.
The Brother Tower contains three bells with specific tones and features a gryphon weather vane at its peak.
