The Christenberg (formerly Kesterburg) is 387 m above sea level. NHN high mountain, castle site, former settlement site and church location in the Burgwald, in the north of today's Marburg-Biedenkopf district in Hesse (Germany).
St. Martin's Church, southeast view

As a hilltop made of red sandstone, the Christenberg is located about 2 km (as the crow flies) east of Münchhausen as an exclave in the district of Münchhausen.[1] The mountain plateau is owned by the Münchhausen Protestant parish. At its summit, on the site of the Celtic and later Franconian fortifications, stands St. Martin's Church in the middle of a cemetery. There is also a restaurant nearby. Burial graves were found in the western area of the summit, which could be burial sites for settlements that used to be on the mountain. From the highest point of the Christenberg you can, among other things, look at the cellar forest. Source: wikipedia
