Todenwarth, Medieval castle ruin in Fambach, Germany
The castle ruin stands on a steep cliff at 270 meters above sea level, overlooking the Werra River and facing the town of Wernshausen.
The first mention of a fortification called 'Warthe' on this hill dates back to 1185, marking the boundary between Breitunger Mark and Schmalkalder Cent.
The castle grounds now serve as a venue for concerts, art exhibitions, and historical lectures, continuing a tradition of cultural gatherings since medieval times.
While interior visits are currently restricted, visitors can view the castle ruins from public roads and attend specific cultural events throughout the year.
The Halbig family, descendants of the original Wolff lineage, acquired and restored the castle in 1996, maintaining a connection spanning several centuries.
