Burg Leofels

Ilshofen, Germany, Germany

Burg Leofels is one of the most impressive medieval castle ruins in the Hohenlohe region of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Built around 1230 during the Staufer period, it stood on a rocky spur high above the Jagst Valley and likely served as an important imperial fortress controlling regional routes and territory. Over the centuries, the castle passed through the hands of the Bishops of Würzburg, the Counts of Württemberg, and the Lords of Vellberg.

After returning to Württemberg in 1592, it gradually lost its residential function and fell into decline. Fires, lightning damage, and the removal of building materials in the 18th and 19th centuries eventually turned it into a ruin. Today, Burg Leofels is a well-preserved historic landmark known for its massive medieval walls and striking location.
