Marksburg
Marksburg is a medieval hill castle above the town of Braubach on the Rhine in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Built and expanded from the 12th–15th centuries as a defensive fortress rather than a royal residence, it features a prominent cylindrical bergfried and extensive curtain walls and bastions and was never destroyed.

As it stood in 1500
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a wooded rocky hill above Braubach, Marksburg presents white‑plastered curtain walls with low outer defences and round bastion towers; inner ranges of buildings rise behind with steep dark slate roofs. A tall cylindrical bergfried with a narrower upper turret and crenellated parapet dominates the silhouette. The castle shows triangular curtain outlines, rounded corner towers and pointed bastions with embrasures for artillery; in its prime the compound stands complete and maintained.
