Burg

A medieval hilltop castle in Germany, dominated by a tall cylindrical stone keep and a cluster of red‑tiled residential buildings and towers. It occupies a wooded promontory and presents a compact inner ward with curtain walls and stepped gables. The site reads as a fortified residence rather than a sprawling military fortress.

As it stood in 1475

The shape it held in its prime.

A tall, cylindrical stone keep rises from the centre, capped by a small observation lantern and thin conical roof, surrounded by lower curtain walls and a mix of rectangular residential ranges with steep red‑tiled roofs. A stepped gable faces the viewer and a small round turret with a conical roof punctuates the roofline. Wall stone is grey‑beige masonry; roofs are orange‑red clay tile. The castle sits on a wooded hilltop with trees along the slope and a compact inner courtyard enclosed by the walls.
