Burg, Castle ruin in Gössenheim, Germany.

The Homburg castle ruins stand on elevated terrain near the Wern river, featuring remaining stone walls and defensive structures from medieval times.

The Lords of Hohenberg constructed the Homburg castle around 1170, which later transferred to the Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg in 1469.

The castle ruins maintain their role in local traditions through an annual singers' festival held each Whit Monday at the historical site.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked hiking trails from the center of Gössenheim through the surrounding vineyards.

Local wine producers name their products after the Homburg castle, connecting the agricultural heritage with the medieval fortress ruins.
