Hasenburg, Medieval castle ruins near Buhla, Germany
The Hasenburg castle stands on a triangular plateau at 481 meters elevation, covering an area of 7.5 hectares with preserved wall structures and ditches.
The site originated as a Bronze Age settlement before becoming a Frankish border fortress in the 7th century and later a imperial castle under Emperor Heinrich IV in 1070.
Archaeological excavations from the 1960s revealed connections to various prehistoric cultures, including Neolithic settlements and Iron Age fortified communities.
The castle grounds remain accessible to visitors, with the main entrance located at the southern tip, while steep cliffs protect the eastern and northwestern sides.
The natural cave called Ritterkeller beneath the medieval castle shows signs of human modification and served as a facility for the castle garrison.
