Burg Hohenburg (Schlossberg)
Homberg, Germany, Germany
Burg Hohenburg, perched on Schlossberg hill in Homberg (Efze), Hesse, Germany, originated as a Franconian royal estate around 780 AD and took its current 12th-century form as a medieval fortress with ring walls, gate tower, keep, and foundations.
It boasts one of Europe's deepest castle wells at over 150 meters, hand-carved into basalt and re-exposed in modern times, alongside a 1960s tower offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
Freely accessible with on-site info boards and a bailey restaurant, the ruins highlight its explosive history during the Thirty Years' War, including a 1648 siege documented by local chronicler Johann Daniel Homagius.
