Schloss Blumenstein, Spur castle ruins in Wildeck, Germany

The remains of Schloss Blumenstein stand at 350 meters above sea level on a ridge in the Richelsdorfer Gebirge, surrounded by forest lands.

Landgraf Ernst II Leopold von Hessen-Rotenburg constructed the hunting lodge in 1727 upon the foundations of Burg Wildeck, which dated from 1250.

The castle site represents the transition from medieval defense structures to aristocratic hunting lodges, reflecting changes in German nobility's priorities.

Local associations and community members participate in preservation efforts of the remaining walls through donations and volunteer work.

The stones from the original Burg Wildeck structure were reused as building materials for constructing the new hunting lodge in the 18th century.
