Burg Tiefenstein, Medieval castle ruins in Tiefenstein, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

The castle stands on a hilltop near a quarry, featuring two remaining wall sections from its original defensive structure built in stone.

The Lords of Teufen constructed the fortress around 1200, and Rudolf von Habsburg destroyed it in 1272 during the siege of Basel.

The castle gave its name to the village of Tiefenstein and the noble family who later became known as the Lords of Tiefenstein.

The forest path leading to the old quarry and castle remains is currently closed, making the ruins inaccessible to visitors.

Located 300 meters from the main castle site, visitors can find remains of an earlier fortification called Wallburg Tiefenstein.
