Burg Haineck, Medieval castle ruin in Nazza, Germany
The remains of Burg Haineck stand on a mountain spur at 375 meters above sea level, featuring preserved walls and a western tower.
Landgrave Balthasar constructed the fortress in 1392 as a border fortification against incursions from the Electorate of Mainz and the free imperial city of Mühlhausen.
The castle grounds showcase medieval defensive architecture with remnants of fortification walls representing the military engineering methods of the 14th century.
The western tower, renovated between 1997 and 2000, includes an external staircase leading to an observation platform for visitors to view the surrounding landscape.
The fortress never had a water well, which led to its abandonment around 1550 when its owners moved to the newly built Nazza Castle in the valley.
