Burg Wartenberg, Medieval castle ruins in Wartenberg, Germany.
The castle remains stand on a flat rocky spur at an elevation of 268 meters above sea level, near the Lauter River course.
The fortress, initially named Wartinberg in 1232, was destroyed in 1265 during a conflict between Count Gottfried V of Ziegenhain and Bertho II forces.
Archaeological excavations between 1938 and 1940 uncovered artifacts from the Roman Imperial period and Carolingian defensive settlements at the site.
The castle tower, restored in 2002, reaches a height of nine and a half meters and features a reconstructed archway for visitors to explore.
Researchers discovered gilded coat of arms appliques belonging to the Wartenberg family, along with knives containing spiral tips used as writing instruments.
