Old Falkenstein Castle
Falkenstein, Germany, Germany
Old Falkenstein Castle is the predecessor to the well-known Burg Falkenstein in Falkenstein, Harz Mountains, Germany, an earlier abandoned fortress destroyed around 1115 by Burchard von Konradsburg before he constructed the new castle nearby between 1120 and 1150.
Likely a smaller medieval structure on a neighboring site, it prompted the family's relocation and name change to Counts of Falkenstein after a legendary murder tied to Konradsburg's conversion into a monastery.
Today reduced to subtle traces amid the scenic Selke Valley, it represents a lost High Medieval outpost overshadowed by its successor's enduring prominence.
