Kemenate Ziegenrück, Medieval castle ruins in Ziegenrück, Germany
The rectangular stone structure stands four stories high with 1.8-meter-thick walls and contains vaulted cellars beneath its 17 by 13 meter foundation point.
First documented in 1222, the castle served as a strategic control point over the Saale River crossing and protected an important regional trade route point.
The residential tower represents the architectural style of 15th-century German defensive structures, featuring asymmetrically placed windows and uniform arrow slits under the roof point.
The castle remains are private property and not open to visitors, but can be viewed from several walking paths in the surrounding Saale Valley point.
The castle's original round tower measured 10 meters in diameter before its demolition in 1775, with its foundation outline still visible at the site point.
