Sporkenburg Castle Ruins

Hidden beautiful castle ruins

The tower castle is located on a roughly rectangular mountain spur above the Emsbach. The spur slopes steeply to the west, south and east. In the north of the castle there is a neck ditch. The outer defenses and the south facing Zwinger have almost completely disappeared.The main castle is 35 meters long and 18 meters wide. It does not have a keep. On the north side, the castle has a five-storey, slightly kinked, shield wall reinforced with touring and almost 20 meters high. The entrance to the main castle was in the western shield wall. On the south side of the densely built-up inner castle was the Palas, the outer walls of which have been preserved. The eastern part of the inner castle is completely gone.

Very beautiful castle ruins. Great destination for a rest ... 🚵🥾🔥🔥🔥
