Wensburg, Castle ruin in Lind, Germany.
The stone remains of Wensburg Castle stand on a mountain peak along the historical trade route between Heilbronn and Schwäbisch Hall.
The castle faced a siege in 1140 during the conflict between the Staufer and Welf dynasties, leading to its surrender on December 21.
The castle ruins maintain their status as a cultural heritage monument, representing medieval German architecture and regional military fortifications.
Visitors reach the castle ruins through a marked path starting from the designated parking area at the base of the mountain.
The Women's Association of Weinsberg received ownership of the castle from King Wilhelm I in 1824 and maintains the site to this day.
