The Hardtburg is the well-preserved ruins of a moated castle from the High Middle Ages near the Euskirchen district Stotzheim on the northern edge of the Eifel.

The core castle has been ruinous since the 18th century, but the largest parts of the castle wall and the outer bailey, which today is a state revier forestry, but are very well preserved. Since 1965 the castle has been maintained. It is freely accessible, but the keep is open only at certain times (autumn and winter), which are based on the breeding season of the birds nesting there.

The main castle has been in ruins since the 18th century, but most of the castle wall and the outer bailey, which today houses a state forest ranger, are very well preserved. The castle has been maintained since 1965. It is freely accessible, but the keep is only open at certain times (autumn and winter), which depend on the breeding seasons of the birds nesting there.
