Altes Schloss, Medieval castle ruins in Kleinwallstadt, Germany.
Altes Schloss Kleinwallstadt is a medieval castle complex whose stone walls rise in places to heights of about 10 meters (33 feet) and clearly show the outline of the former structure. The ruin sits in a forested area and consists of several foundation sections that indicate the castle's original size and layout.
The fortress was built in the second half of the 13th century and remained in use until around 1270. Its decline followed a systematic destruction whose exact cause remains unknown to this day.
The ruins reveal traces of a well-organized medieval fortification that visitors can still observe in the remaining stone foundations. Walking through the site offers insight into how the structure once functioned as a defensive complex.
The ruin is located in the forest and accessible by marked hiking trails. Wear sturdy footwear and expect uneven ground when exploring the site, as the terrain around the ruins can be rough.
Archaeological excavations since 2006 have uncovered significant medieval building structures that reveal construction techniques from that era. These findings make the site an important record of medieval craftsmanship in the region.
