Burg Dattenberg, Medieval castle ruins in Dattenberg, Germany

The castle remains include an 11-meter-high round tower and rectangular surrounding walls, situated on the outskirts of Dattenberg village.

Wilhelm von Dattenberg sold the castle to the Archbishop of Cologne between 1306 and 1331, marking a significant change in ownership.

The structure transformed from a Catholic girls' home to a youth camp in 1939, later serving as a school country home until 1996.

Visitors can access the castle site daily and obtain additional information through the Linz tourism office or by contacting +49 2644 603600.

A villa with two distinct towers, designed by Berlin architect Adolf Fuchs in 1890, stands on the medieval castle foundations.
