Burg Ascheberg, Medieval castle ruins in Steinfurt, Germany.
The castle remains consist of two separate courtyards, each measuring 40 by 40 meters, with foundations made of local quarry stone and mortar.
Originally constructed during the Carolingian period, the castle served as the ancestral seat of the noble House of Ascheberg until its destruction in 1179.
Archaeological excavations in 1900 revealed a polygonal keep and an 11-meter-long palace structure, providing information about medieval noble residences in Westphalia.
The site features an established path system and information panels, allowing visitors to explore the medieval castle foundations independently.
The castle ruins sit at 77.4 meters above sea level on the northern slope of Hollichen Heights, 1500 meters northeast of Schloss Burgsteinfurt.
