Itterburg, Castle ruin in Thalitter, Germany

The Itterburg stands on a hill at 375 meters above sea level, overlooking the landscape north of Thalitter in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district.

The castle's first documented mention dates to 1126, when sisters Riclind and Frederun of Itter inherited the property and transferred it to Abbot Erkenbert of Corvey.

The Itterburg represents one of three fortifications known as the Itter Castles, along with Steuerburg and Upper Castle, forming a medieval defensive network.

The ruins remain accessible to visitors throughout the year, situated near the festival grounds of Thalitter with walking paths leading to the site.

Gustav IV Adolf, the former King of Sweden, purchased the ruins in 1815 and subsequently adopted the title Count of Itterburg.
