Alte Niedeck, Hill castle ruins in Gross Lengden, Germany
The castle remains stand at 385 meters elevation on Kronenberg hill, featuring scattered foundation stones and traces of defensive walls and moats.
The castle, constructed around 1220, served as a residence for the Lords of Niedeck until 1318 when the city of Göttingen forces captured it.
The structure represents medieval noble residential architecture of Lower Saxony, demonstrating the regional military engineering practices of hill fortifications.
Visitors reach the castle ruins through a steep forest path that requires proper walking shoes and careful navigation of the challenging terrain.
Located 700 meters from Hünschen Burg, the castle formed part of a network of medieval fortifications controlling the Gartetal valley region.
