Waldburg castle, Medieval castle in Waldburg, Germany.

Located at 772 meters above sea level, the stone fortress features massive defensive walls, watchtowers, and residential chambers spread across multiple levels.

The castle, constructed in the 12th century, stored the Imperial Regalia under Emperor Frederick II from 1220 to 1240, marking its role in German history.
