Reichsburg Landskron, Medieval castle ruin in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Germany.
The castle remains stand on a 271-meter basalt cone, featuring double outer wards and defensive structures built from basalt columns with slate rubble.
King Philipp of Schwaben initiated the construction of Reichsburg Landskron in 1206 to protect the vital Aachen-Frankfurter Heerstraße route through the Holy Roman Empire.
The Marienkapelle, a Josephite chapel beneath the castle built around 1470, contains a small grotto space behind its altar from earlier periods.
Visitors can access the castle grounds throughout the year and combine their visit with hiking trails that range from beginner to advanced difficulty levels.
Romans used this strategic location as a lookout point due to its proximity to their fort Rigomagnus, which later became the modern city of Remagen.
