Ruine Engelburg, Medieval castle ruins in Mühlhausen, Stuttgart, Germany.
The Engelburg castle ruins stand on a hilltop overlooking the Mühlhausen district, featuring foundation walls with a thickness between 1.8 and 2.2 meters.
The original structure dates back to 700 CE as a hill fort, with the castle being reconstructed between 1260 and 1280 before its destruction in 1312.
The castle grounds serve as a historical learning site where visitors can understand the architectural methods and defensive strategies of medieval German fortifications.
Visitors can access the ruins by parking at Kaufland or Palmsches Schloss, then following the marked path up the hill to reach the site.
The castle site measures only 480 square meters, making it one of the smallest medieval fortifications in the Stuttgart region.
