Ringwall Venne, Medieval castle ruins in Kottenforst, Germany
The rectangular fortification structure spans across the southern section of Vennegraben with a seven-meter-wide trench and three-meter-wide foundation walls.
Between the 10th and 12th centuries, this defensive structure protected inhabitants from Hungarian invasions through its strategic position in the forest.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed slate-roofed buildings and a reinforced palisade wall, demonstrating medieval construction techniques.
Multiple hiking trails connect to the archaeological site, making it accessible from Bonn-Schweinheim through the surrounding Kottenforst forest paths.
The fortification maintains its original early medieval defensive layout with rounded corners, representative of regional architectural developments of that period.
