As always, castle ruins have a strong attraction for me. I can hardly escape their magic.

The Wensburg was probably built in the 13th century. The Wensburg was first mentioned in documents in 1401 as Haus zu Wentzbergh. The castle complex measures around 20 x 40m and is divided into two areas. The rectangular core castle area with the residential tower is clearly visible. The residential tower is around 20m high, has a base area of 9.5 x 10.7m and walls are 2.5m thick. The residential tower and most of the remaining parts of the ruins date back to the conservation efforts of Louise Scheib at the beginning of the 20th century. The owner at the time tried to preserve what had been destroyed in 1633 during the Thirty Years' War and what was demolished in 1832. In 1833, the castle chapel dedicated to Saint George was also demolished. Until 1930, the main castle was surrounded by a 7m high wall made of basalt blocks and rubble stones, which is still 3m high today. At that time, there was a battlement on the rampart. The Wensburg castle ruins are open to the public. Source: https://www.ich-geh-wandern.de/wensburg

Creepy Wensburg 😉

🌲Nice photo motif in the middle of beautiful nature 🌳🎨📸 Freely accessible. Had our snack here 🥪🥐🥖 🏰The castle stands on an elevation approx. 355 meters above NHN and thus a good 20 meters above the valley floor of the Ahbach, which runs a few meters further east 🌊 near the state road 70. Extensive renovation work took place in 2004-2006.

Nice old ruined castle.

A historic castle ruin whose origins are unknown. Only a document from the year 1341 confirms its proven age. I found this ruin very impressive.

A beautiful ruin with an interesting past, which unfortunately has been demolished for building material.

When you think of Nürburg, you only think of fast cars and tight corners? Then you're not familiar with the castle ruins of the same name. Nürburg was founded before 1166, probably by the Counts of Are. Characteristic slate-covered conical roofs mark the silhouette of the castle, visible from afar. Not only the view from the mighty keep is worth a visit, but also the impressive remains of the former castle complex, which was expanded in several so-called "growth rings."
