Burg Steyerberg, Medieval castle ruins near Deblinghausen, Germany.
The castle remains sit on the southern slope of Knappsberg hill, approximately 1000 meters southwest of Deblinghausen, with the Große Aue river flowing below.
The Counts of Oldenburg-Bruchhausen constructed the fortress in the mid-13th century, which was later destroyed in 1285 and suffered additional damage during the Thirty Years' War.
The site features the Hexentreppe, stone steps leading to the summit, connected to local tales of witches gathering during Walpurgis Night to light secret fires.
Visitors can access the castle site without entrance fees and explore the remaining foundations that showcase medieval architectural elements from the region.
The stones from the original castle structure were repurposed in 1550 to construct the Amtshof administrative building in Steyerberg.
