Burgruine Hinterfrankenberg, Medieval castle ruins in Weigenheim, Germany.
The castle remains consist of a round tower, palace foundations, and sections of ring walls constructed from buckled stones on a hilltop at 426 meters elevation.
Built around 1200 by Bishop Konrad von Querfurt, the castle served as a strategic fortress until its destruction during the Markgrafenkrieg conflicts in 1554.
The castle ruins represent the medieval architectural heritage of Franconia, displaying construction techniques and defensive features common to hilltop fortifications of that period.
Visitors can reach the ruins through hiking trails from the parking area at the base, with coordinates 49.607980 latitude and 10.262977 longitude.
The site contains two separate castle complexes, with Hinterfrankenberg positioned just 62 meters from its younger counterpart, Burg Vorderfrankenberg.
