Bubenstein Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Höllental valley, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
The ruins of Bubenstein Castle stand on a rock spur at 560 meters above sea level on the northern side of Höllental valley.
Walter of Falkenstein initiated the construction of Bubenstein Castle in the 13th century, with the lords of Staufen documented as inhabitants by 1328.
The castle design exhibits traditional German defensive architecture with a substantial bergfried measuring 10 by 10 meters and a deep neck ditch.
The castle remains are accessible through Buchenbach village in Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald county, though visitors should prepare for an uphill walk to the site.
During the 19th century, workers removed sections of the castle rock to make space for a railway line through the valley.
