Junkernschloss, Castle ruin in Driedorf, Germany.

The Junkernschloss exhibits remnants of a moated castle structure with reconstructed ground plans displaying the original architectural layout of the fortification.

In 1347, Count Otto II transferred the land containing Junkernschloss to the Mudersbach family, who maintained control until their lineage ended around 1600.

The castle stands as a representation of medieval German defensive architecture, reflecting the building techniques and military strategies of its construction period.

The ruins remain accessible throughout the year, with multiple transportation options including train connections, road access, and integration with regional hiking trails.

A tower collapse in 1780 filled the castle moat with debris, transforming the water-filled defense system into a meadow that remains visible today.
