The Eilenburg (also Eulenburg) is a castle complex in the Saxon town of the same name, Eilenburg, in the district of North Saxony and was formerly located in the area of the Limes Sorabicus. The Slavic fortification, probably built in the 9th century, became the center of the Ilburg castle ward in the second half of the 10th century. Around the turn of the millennium, it came into the possession of the Wettins and then gave the Eulenburg family (noble family) its name of origin. The castle, which is important for the history of Saxony, today consists of two brick residential towers from the decades around 1200, a ring wall of about the same age, several ditches and the baroque office building. The third tower, a keep of unknown age, partially collapsed in 1972. The ruins were blown up shortly afterwards.

Built in the 9th century, the Ileburg was built in the 10th century. Unfortunately, a third tower was blown up in 1972.
