Burgruine Dreienburg

Friedewald, Hesse, Germany, Germany

Burgruine Dreienburg, also known locally as "Alter Keller," is a ruined spur castle on the southeast ridge of Dreienberg mountain near Lautenhausen in Friedewald, Hersfeld-Rotenburg district, eastern Hesse, Germany, at about 441 meters elevation.

Likely dating to the early 13th century and possibly linked to a 1428 "Warte zu Lautenhausen" watchtower mentioned in border records between Hesse and Hersfeld Abbey, it was noted as a deserted site with a former "Schloss" by 1579, possibly built by the abbey to guard against Hessian incursions.

Exposed through 1901 excavations and 1973 digs, the protected cultural monument retains an 8.5-meter square residential tower's buckelquader masonry walls and a bergside neck ditch, offering distant Rhön views through trees on hiking paths like the Premiumweg "Dreienberg."
