Burg Dasburg, Medieval castle ruin in Dasburg, Germany

The castle ruins stand on a 356-meter hill, featuring remaining foundations of inner and outer walls along with a 20-meter round tower.

First documented in 1222 as Daysberhc castrum, the castle served as a defensive structure for the Abbey of Prüm under various noble families.

The castle's connection to Dutch royalty continues today, as the title Lord of Dasburg remains part of the Dutch monarch's official designation.

The ruins underwent partial wall collapse in 2012, leading to increased monitoring and restoration efforts by Rhineland-Palatinate state administration.

Following the Napoleonic Wars, General Oudinot acquired the castle through military service before selling it at a notary-managed auction in 1813.
