Hünenburg Hohenrode, Medieval castle ruins in Rinteln, Germany.
The Hünenburg Hohenrode castle stands on a plateau with steep slopes toward the Weser river, covering an oval area of 100 by 55 meters.
Count Konrad von Roden constructed this strategic fortress in 1170, but it was destroyed in 1180 by Count Adolf III von Schaumburg during regional conflicts.
Archaeological excavations between 1932 and 1934 revealed the foundation structures and ring wall traces that showcase medieval German defensive architecture.
Visitors can access information about the castle through display boards that illustrate its historical layout and original appearance during the 12th century.
The fortress location provided defenders with clear views of the Weser Valley, including a potential moat connection to the nearby Rumbecker Berg.
