Burg Helfenberg, Medieval castle ruin in Ilsfeld, Germany.
The stone remains of Burg Helfenberg stand on a hill overlooking the village of Helfenberg, featuring partial walls and foundation structures.
The castle, first documented in 1259 with Albertus de Helfenberg as its initial keeper, underwent multiple ownership changes until its destruction during the Thirty Years' War.
The castle ruins represent medieval architectural traditions of Baden-Württemberg, displaying construction methods from the 13th century through subsequent modifications.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked hiking paths from Ilsfeld, with the site remaining open for public exploration throughout the year.
The von Gaisberg family maintains ownership of the ruins, collaborating with local authorities to preserve the historical structure for future generations.
