Burg Schweinsberg

Stadtallendorf, Germany, Germany

Burg Schweinsberg is a well-preserved medieval hill castle perched on a 215-meter basalt cone in Schweinsberg, a district of Stadtallendorf in Hesse, Germany.

Built around 1230 by Guntram von Marburg during Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia's era and expanded in 1482 by master builder Hans Jakob von Ettlingen with a rectangular outer bailey, ring walls, flank towers, and a round defensive tower, it transitioned from fortress to noble residence with the late Gothic Kemenate main building constructed 1459-1497.

Home to the von Schweinsberg family for over seven centuries—surviving Thirty Years' War damage and 1852 neo-Gothic renovations—it now offers seven apartments amid maintained earthworks, blending military history with romantic residential charm accessible via hikes.
