Burg Waldeck, Medieval castle ruins in Vorderheubach, Germany.
The stone walls of Burg Waldeck rise 315 meters above sea level, featuring a polygonal curtain wall and remnants of a flanking tower.
The Lords of Strahlenberg constructed Burg Waldeck between 1250 and 1300, with Conrad II directing the initial building phase of this fortification.
The castle remains demonstrate medieval German defensive architecture through its strategic placement and construction methods using regional building materials.
Visitors can examine the preserved sections of the castle walls, which measure between 1.80 to 2.20 meters in thickness throughout the structure.
The castle grounds contain a distinct courtyard area called Zwinger, which separates the main walls from the hilltop fortifications.
