Wildburg, Medieval castle ruin in Sargenroth, Germany.
Wildburg is a medieval castle that stands on elevated ground between two streams in the forested Hunsrück mountains. The stone walls remain partly intact and rise visibly above the surrounding woodland.
The castle was built in the 13th or 14th century as a residence for a local noble family, the Lords of Wildenberg. When this family line died out around 1400, the site gradually fell into ruin.
The ruins represent a regional network of medieval fortifications that once protected this area of the Rhineland Plateau. Visitors can observe how these structures were positioned to control movement through the valleys below.
The site is accessible by hiking trails that wind through the forest from nearby areas. Sturdy footwear is recommended since the paths cross uneven woodland ground and can be muddy after rain.
The ruins sit on one of the highest points in the area, offering visitors views across the surrounding valleys from the elevated perch. This commanding location explains why it was chosen as a strategic spot for residence and observation.
