Wildenstein - Hexenturm, Medieval castle ruin in Leibertingen, Germany
The Wildenstein castle stands at 810 meters above sea level on a cliff, overlooking the Danube River in the Swabian Alb region.
The castle's first documented mention dates to 1077 in the Beuron monastery records, while archaeological findings indicate construction began in the 13th century.
Renaissance murals from 1538 to 1540 decorate the interior walls of the castle, including the notable Sigenot wall painting in the main building.
The German Youth Hostel Association operates the castle as a youth hostel with accommodation for 156 guests, offering guided tours upon request.
A deep moat measuring 20 meters in width and depth surrounds the castle, with access restricted to bridges crossing this defensive structure.
